Laura Dreisbach is a certified Audiologist and Associate Professor in the School of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University. She obtained a Ph.D. in Audiology and Hearing Sciences from Northwestern University, where her studies involved the objective measurement of human cochlear physiology. Dr. Dreisbach completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where her research focused on psychoacoustic measurements in normal- and hearing-impaired listeners. She is the director of the Auditory Physiology and Psychoacoustics Laboratory where her research entails characterizing peripheral auditory function using extended-high frequency stimuli and objective measures (otoacoustic emissions) in pediatric and adult listeners. One focus is to establish the reliability of varied otoacoustic emission measurements for the purpose of monitoring populations exposed to ototoxic agents. Recently, she has explored the influence of ototoxic exposures on the central auditory nervous system utilizing subjective questionnaires of handicap.
