Dr. Baiduc recently returned from a sunny Arizona American Auditory Society meeting where she presented preliminary data on cochlear health in hypertension. This NIH funded study is still enrolling participants and we are excited to see where this project goes. Many thanks to the wonderful HEARD Lab research assistants and other personnel for supporting this work.

Congratulations to Anna Buencamino and Rachel Gaydos for their acceptance into CU Boulder's Studio Lab program! Anna is exploring DPOAE level-growth functions and Rachel is characterizing DPOAE profiles in relation to alcohol use.

Last week was a busy week! HEARD lab AuD students Lauren Beenken and Catherine O'Hara presented their work on diabetes and hearing loss at the Colorado Academy of Audiology conference. Their capstone projects are helping to raise awareness about diabetes, risk of falls, and hearing loss.

Undergraduate student Rachel Gaydos presented her thesis work on alcohol and cochlear function at last week's Colorado Academy of Audiology conference. Nice work, Rachel!

The HEARD lab thanks Lauren Beenken and Catherine O'Hara for their wonderful presentation at the CU Anschutz Geriatric Symposium this month.
