Chantel is completing a combined Au.D./Ph.D. (Hearing Science). Chantel's dissertation topic is concerned with the spatial distribution of generation of SFOAEs in mammals. Preliminary work on this topic was presented at AAS in 2007. Chantel is also interested in power reflectance as a research and clinical tool.
Kristin Baar
Kristin is a practicing clinical audiologist (and mother) who is completing a Ph.D. in Hearing Science. Her research interest is in the delineation of strial dysfunction from hair cell loss in Presbycusis.
Kelly Waldvogel

Kelly is in the final year of her B.A. degree with a major in Audiology and minor in Business. She is currently investigating the relationship between the measure of cochlear compression obtained from DPOAE input-output functions and compound action potential thresholds. Kelly is hoping to pursue an Au.D. and through her laboratory research experience, obtain skills to be better able to translate basic research into the clinic.

Kari Morgenstein

Kari is in her Junior year of her B.A. degree with a major in Audiology. Kari is currently gaining surgical and research skills in hearing science. At present, Kari plans to pursue and Au.D., but is using her experience gained in the laboratory to help guide her future aspirations.
