The School of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University has a strong research focus on improving hearing health care access and outcomes, particularly among underserved populations such as farmworkers and older adults. Recent grants and publications highlight the department's emphasis on prevention of noise-induced hearing loss, teleaudiology, and culturally-relevant approaches to healthcare. Researchers are also exploring the usability and acceptance of over-the-counter hearing aids, as well as the intersection of audiology and public health.
Other research themes include the impact of chronic conditions on voice production, stuttering in children, and communication disorders in diverse contexts. The department's work has implications for improving quality of life, healthcare access, and workforce sufficiency in audiology and related fields.
