Personal Statement

Dr. Andrea Hillock-Dunn joined the faculty in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of North Carolina in 2012. She is primarily interested in auditory and audiovisual processing development in individuals with normal hearing and hearing loss.  Her work has focused on measuring the effects of age, hearing loss, and hearing aid technology on children’s ability to understand speech in competing background sound, and characterizing maturational changes in the impact of visual cues on auditory perception.  Other areas of interest include early hearing detection and intervention and school hearing screening.

Courses Taught

• SPHS 712 Characteristics of Amplification
