Eaton-Peabody Laboratories: Investigators

EPL Investigators have academic ties to the Department of Otology and Laryngology at the Harvard Medical School (HMS), the Division of Health Science and Technology (HST), a joint venture of HMS and MIT, the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT and the Department of Neurology at the Mass. General Hospital.

Research by EPL investigators spans the auditory system from the outer and middle ears to the auditory cortex, and includes several major themes: conductive hearing loss, cochlear micromechanics, mechanisms of otoacoustic emissions, cochlear transduction and synaptic transmission, sensorineural hearing loss, hair-cell and neuronal regeneration, descending control of the middle and inner ears, the neurophysiology of auditory perception, optimization of brainstem auditory implants, and the mechanisms and treatments for human tinnitus.
