Research In Profile

Dr. Susan Scollie is a Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Director the National Centre for Audiology, University of 深夜福利站 Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. With colleagues, she developed version 5.0 of the DSL Method for hearing aid fitting, now a worldwide standard for pediatric hearing aid prescription. Her current research focuses on the efficacy of hearing aid signal processing, innovation and outcomes for infants, children, and adults who use hearing aids, hearing aid verification strategies, and simulation in education.
