“Participating in and completing research during my Au.D. has been an influential part of my journey. Being a member of the Hearing Loss Prevention (HLP) Laboratory has opened doors for additional scholarships and grants and helped prepare me for externship interviews. I truly believe I would not be the clinician I am today without the research experiences I was able to complete with our HLP Lab team.”
