📢 We’re #hiring a Postdoc to join our lab at Pitt and Pittsburgh’s vibrant auditory research community to study the mechanisms of suprathreshold deficits in hearing loss. Work with me, @aravindhearing.bsky.social, @samhauser.bsky.social, and Lori Zitelli: snaplabgroup.github.io/postdoc_open...

Thrilled to congratulate @snaplabgroup.bsky.social undergraduate researcher Shaina Wasileski on her outstanding poster at the 2025 Midwest Auditory Research Conference at NEOMED. Her results illuminate physiological contributors to individual variations in outcomes in sensorineural hearing loss.

@samhauser.bsky.social's findings demonstrate that precision, individualized calibration approaches can mitigate the effects of standing waves, making DPOAEs viable in this crucial high-frequency region! (4/5)

Taking a moment to celebrate new science with a paper alert 🚨 🎉 Congratulations to @samhauser.bsky.social, and co-authors Alexandra Hustedt-Mai and Anna Wichlinski on the latest publication from our lab in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America! doi.org/10.1121/10.0... (1/5)

I guess there's no better opportunity for a first Bluesky skeet (?) than to announce that I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis! Grateful for my incredible advisors (Michael Heinz and @haribharadwaj.bsky.social) and the fantastic labs and community that made this possible!

The results reveal that stronger TFS sensitivity is associated with greater resilience against the effects of reverberation and reduced listening effort for speech-in-noise under a range of conditions! Notably, these findings were replicated two more times.

Agudemu’s study uses an innovative design—leveraging individual differences—to overcome the limitations of conventional experimental approaches (e.g., vocoding), offering fresh insight into this foundational question in auditory neuroscience.

✨Thrilled to kick off 2025 by sharing our new paper, led by @abmongol.bsky.social, on how the auditory system’s encoding of precise timing cues (temporal fine structure) could benefit our day-to-day listening: www.pnas.org/eprint/IFCPF...
