Welcome to the HELD Research Lab website! We are passionate about bringing together individuals from all cultures and backgrounds by embracing their linguistic diversity and learning how to connect those who have hearing loss. Our research strives to focus not only on educating ourselves, but also and our community by enhancing knowledge about communication, cultural diversity, bilingualism, and hearing development. It is our hope that this research will benefit the speech, language, and hearing community by providing opportunities for individuals to grow and thrive.
