Dr. Donghyeon Yun directs the Hearing Science Laboratory. Hearing loss is the third most common health condition in the United States, affecting millions and significantly impacting communication, education, career opportunities, and the economy. Dr. Yun's research primarily aims to support individuals who experience difficulty understanding speech and those who find it challenging to fully enjoy sound. Specifically, his work focuses on evaluating and optimizing acoustic signal processing algorithms, applying hearing science theories to interpret real-world acoustic phenomena, promoting best practices in clinical settings, and developing computational models of hearing-related phenomena.
