Clinical Translational Amplification Research Lab | Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders | University of South Florida

Welcome to the Clinical Translational Amplification Research (CTAR) Lab. Our lab investigates how hearing aid technologies and listener characteristics interact to support communication in everyday environments. Our work is at the intersection of auditory perception, cognitive science, and hearing technology.

Our studies include individuals with normal hearing and hearing loss. By pairing experimental findings with clinically relevant insights, we aim to inform the development of next-generation hearing aid strategies.

The CTAR Lab has been supported by federal and foundation funding, including grants from the National Institutes of Health; as well as institutional and departmental support.
