The PhD program includes several areas of research emphasis in speech, language, and hearing research. Research conducted by speech science faculty include investigations ranging from improving understanding of cleft palate speech to examining acoustic parameters of normal and disordered speech. Language faculty researchers focus on the interactions among cognition and language processes in children and adults with and without cognitive-linguistic impairments. Audiology faculty conduct research in a wide range of areas including adult and infant electrophysiology, amplification and rehabilitation, and psychoacoustics. CSDI faculty collaborate with faculty from the ECU Department of Psychology, Brody School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, and other researchers and scientists in North Carolina.
