The ARA Institute is fast approaching.  The UCONN AR Lab will be well represented with presentations by Brittney Dullard, Michael Kurth, Ali Marinelli, Tracie Tuss and Shannon Wannagot.  Hope to see you in Philly (9/7 – 9/9).

Brittney Dullard was selected as the 2014 Oyer award recipient.  The Oyer award is an internationally competitive student research award named in honor of Herbert J. Oyer, Ph.D., a charter member of Academy of Rehabilitative Audiology and leader in the field of audiologic rehabilitation. The award recognizes students completing exemplary research in the area of audiologic rehabilitation.  The Aural Rehab Lab is very proud of of Brittney and her work.  The honor is well-deserved.

Congratulations to lab member, Brittney Dullard, who successfully defended her dissertation titled “A Comparison of General and Task-Specific Measures of Self-Efficacy in Adult Hearing Aid Users” on August 18, 2014.  Brittney will present the results of her study at the Academy of Rehabilitative Audiology in Philadelphia, PA in September.

New research from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)  reports a higher incidence of self-reported depression among individuals with hearing loss especially women.  – See more at: JAMA Otolaryngology Online .
