Eddins, David A., Ph.D., CCC-A
Professor
Dr. David A. Eddins is a certified clinical audiologist and a fellow of the Acoustical
Society of America and of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
His research interests focus on four broad areas. His collaborative work investigating
the impacts of aging on hearing, communication, balance, and cognition involves a
variety of research methodologies and advance technologies. Trained as a classical
psychoacoustician, his work involves investigation of fundamental aspects of auditory
perception and he has extended that work to the study of voice quality perception.
In the area of voice quality, Dr. Eddins partners with speech-language pathologists
and engineers to investigate the perceptual, acoustic, and physiological bases of
the perception of various characteristics of normal and dysphonic voices with a keen
interest in the perception and understanding pediatric dysphonia. His research on
hearing and balance enhancement and protection uses various technologies such as ear-worn
devices, the use of augmented acoustic environments, and quantification of deficit
and benefit via ecological momentary assessment. This work branches into investigations
of hearing aid technologies, methods for treating hyperacusis and tinnitus, and the
effectiveness of hearing protection devices. His research also involves understanding
how the central auditory system processes sound and how that processing may change
with aging, hearing loss, and comorbid conditions. This collaborative work frequently
involves the use of basic and advanced electroacoustic and electrophysiologic methods.
Finally, Dr. Eddins is actively involved in the development of laboratory, clinical,
and ambulatory assessment methods. His research is funded by the NIH and several industry
partners and is conducted in collaboration with a variety of scientists and clinicians
at 新澳门六合彩内幕信息and institutions around the world.
