Research from hearing, language, and cognitive studies helps us better assess children who struggle to listen even though their standard hearing tests are typical. In this research webinar, Beula Magimairaj, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, explains how different challenges can occur together, effective testing methods, and impacts on school performance and educational needs.
A 2015 Emerging Research Grants scientist generously funded by Royal Arch Research Assistance, Magimairaj is a research scientist at Utah State University’s Early Childhood Education and Research Center. She has continued investigations in this area, now with an R21 grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
HHF research webinars highlight the significant findings by Emerging Research Grants scientists. Our ERG program provides seed funding to early stage investigators, including in underfunded areas of otology, and these Zoom presentations underscore the critical impact this funding has had on both research advances as well as the scientists themselves. All sessions include an interactive Q&A with the speaker.
The series is moderated by Anil K. Lalwani, M.D., a member of HHF's Board of Directors and the head of HHF's Council of Scientific Trustees, which oversees the ERG program. He is a professor and the vice chair for research in the department of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, the associate dean for student research at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and a co-director at the Columbia Cochlear Implant Program.
