Other Items of Interest
Dr. Konrad-Martin received an RR&D Research Career Development Award in 2003, an RR&D Advanced Research Career Development Award and NIH RO3 funding in 2006, and a Career Development Transition Award as well as VA RR&D Merit Review funding in 2010. She has significant expertise in both basic and applied research using physiological measurements to measure normal and impaired peripheral auditory function. Recent work combines such measurements with psychophysical and speech perception tests to examine peripheral as well as central stages of auditory processing among Veterans who are older and/or have diabetes. Other work investigates the use of otoacoustic emissions as an early indicator of ototoxic hearing loss. Prior to joining the NCRAR in 2003, Dr. Konrad-Martin completed a PhD in Audiology at the University of Washington in Seattle, a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Hearing Science at Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, NE, and worked as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Communication Disorders and Sciences at Rush University in Chicago, IL.
