معرفی
Ian Benjamin Mertes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science. His research focuses on auditory physiology, otoacoustic emissions, and speech perception disorders, with emphasis on clinical applications in audiology. He investigates mechanisms like the medial olivocochlear reflex and noise effects on hearing.
Research interests span auditory efferent systems, electrophysiological responses in normal and impaired hearing, and clinical audiology practices. His work frequently examines signal processing in noisy environments and diagnostic tools for hearing loss.
Publications predominantly explore otoacoustic emissions, auditory reflexes, and speech-in-noise perception, with recurring themes in cochlear function and clinical survey methodologies. Research demonstrates consistent focus on translational outcomes for hearing assessment.
