Understanding the Barriers and Opportunities of the Latin Music Community in Canada

The artists and industry professionals that comprise Canada’s Latin music community are a dynamic and diverse group. Even though members of this group have made significant contributions to Canada’s cultural landscape, few studies have been conducted to investigate the challenges and requirements of this community. This proposal aims to address this deficiency by conducting a […]

Optimizing hearing aids for speech intelligibility, sound quality and emotional speech

The lack of correspondence between the clinic setting and real world listening environments may explain, in part, why hearing instruments optimized in the clinic often result in poor adherence of hearing instruments in everyday life. To address the disconnect between communication in everyday listening situations where talkers often speak with emotion and audiology clinics where […]
