Academic Interests

• My research is about cognition and communication in deaf and hearing impaired individuals.
• I am interested in how cognitive skills are linked to communicative success, often with different types of hearing devices.
• One line of research focuses on deaf children and the relationship between the children´s cognitive skill and speech understanding with cochlear implants (CI).
• A second line dela with cognitive intervention in order to enhance the children possibilities to take part in various forms of communication.
