Professor and Chairman Research Interests: Financial Impediments to Hearing Aid Purchase Among Americans with Hearing Loss. (PI) This study seeks to offer a more complete picture of the role of cost in a hearing impaired person’s decision to purchase a hearing aid. The investigative goal is to support the hypotheses that 1) many people who could benefit from hearing aids do not receive them, and 2) public and private insurers should cover part of the cost of hearing aids.
