Au.D. Externship
We offer a clinical and hybrid fourth year Audiology externships. The hybrid externship allows students the opportunity to gain research experience with investigators as part of their fourth year training.
Dizziness & Concussion
Are you at least 18 years of age? Have you had a concussion that resulted in dizziness or imbalance? We are looking for research volunteers to help us design a new software program to make vestibular rehabilitation more accessible to adults with dizziness. The study involves filling out questionnaires, testing your vestibular system (inner ear function), balance and walking, five weekly physical therapy visits and daily at-home rehabilitation.

Tinnitus
The Mountain Home Hearing, Affect, and Listening Effort Laboratory seeks adults, ages 18-82, to participate in a research study about tinnitus, also known as ringing in the ears. We are recruiting adults who experience chronic tinnitus (6+ months) but may or may not have hearing loss. The purpose of this study is to learn more about why tinnitus is stressful for some people but not others. Participants who complete the study will be given a gift card as payment.
