Beth A. Prieve

Professor of Communications Sciences and Disorders

Research and Teaching Interests

Professor Prieve explores basic physiological and behavioral processes of the auditory system and applies them to in humans to improve diagnosis of hearing loss.  Her specialties areas include otoacoustic emissions, middle ear measures, auditory brainstem responses and the application of these in infants and children as well as newborn hearing screening.  Her research has been funded by the National Institude of Deafness and other Communication Disorders, the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, the Deafness Research Foundation and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Foundation.
