Joaquín Valderrama visits the lab
We were lucky to host Joaquín Valderrama from the University of Granada this week to share tips and techniques between our labs. He also gave an excellent presentation on his current work looking at hidden hearing loss.

New lab photo
After a nice dinner out, we actually remembered to take a lab photo. (A major feat!)

Bone conduction pABR paper published
Our paper with the Polonenko Lab comparing bone and air conduction response in the pABR has been published in Ear and Hearing. The study is a proof of concept in adults with normal hearing that shows that bone and air conduction provide similar response waveforms for the pABR and that transducer artifact does not present any problems. It also provides dB nHL norms for pABR stimuli with the bone vibrator.

Congratulations Penny and Tom!
Penny and Tom were both awarded positions on the Hearing, Balances, and Chemical Senses T32 program. Penny will be doing work aimed at making the pABR even faster, and Tom will be working on deep neural network modeling of subcortical sound encoding. Congratulations to both!
