Research Topic: Auditory Processing Disorder in School-Aged Children with Chronic Otitis Media
Research Project: My research focuses on Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) in school-aged children with a history of recurrent ear infections or chronic otitis media (COM). COM is a common ear infection that can lead to long periods of auditory deprivation, which affects a child’s ability to process sound, an important skill for learning language and succeeding in school. This study examines how APD manifests in children with COM and how it impacts their auditory processing skills, spoken-language understanding, and overall cognitive performance. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and treatment, helping these children perform better in school and supporting their overall development.
In my free time, I enjoy playing the musical instrument Tar, swimming, and learning about different languages and cultures.
