Janet R. Schoepflin

Janet R. Schoepflin is a Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Adelphi University's Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences. She earned her Ph.D. from City University of New York (1997), MA from Temple University (1980), and BA from Pennsylvania State University (1971). She holds New York State licenses in both Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensing.

Her research specializes in two primary domains: (1) pediatric audiology with emphasis on amplification technologies and sensory aids to improve speech/language outcomes in hearing-impaired children, and (2) psychoacoustic investigations of noise effects on speech recognition and hearing. Additional expertise spans assistive listening devices, clinical audiology, and rehabilitative practices.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on applied clinical research, with recent works examining smartphone-based sound measurement, age-related auditory processing, cochlear implant accessibility, and speech recognition mechanics. Research methodologies frequently incorporate case studies and collaborative clinical investigations.

Notable recognitions include:

• Scholar Award, American Academy of Audiology (2002, 2011-12)
• Award for Continuing Education, ASHA (2005, 2009, 2011)
• Adelphi University Presidential Faculty Development Award (2004)
• Participation in national Audiology Education Summits

She secured the Adelphi University Presidential Faculty Development Award (2004) for research advancement. While student advising details aren't specified, her teaching includes graduate-level courses in genetics of communication disorders and psychoacoustics.
