The Clinic's goal is to improve communication through diagnostic evaluation and rehabilitative intervention.

Providing opportunities for individuals with communication problems to receive individual and group diagnostic evaluations, screenings and therapy services.

Concerned primarily with issues involved in the higher-order processing of auditory information, especially as it impacts listening in real world situations.

Focusing the clinical and research skills of its members on the problems of hearing loss. Drawing upon the university's many resources, as well as its experts in such diverse areas, the center facilitates the transfer of important basic science results into the clinical environment by regularly hosting interdisciplinary seminars and workshops for students, clinicians, and scientists involved in relevant disciplines.

a consortium between the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Its charter is basic research in auditory physiology, studying the mechanisms of hearing from the acoustics of the outer ear, through transduction of sound into neural impulses, to processes within the central nervous system.

conducts research concerning the development and evaluation of both diagnostic and remediation procedures to overcome disablements associated with hearing loss.

conducting research on the mechanisms and processes of human hearing. It currently focuses its efforts in two areas, the development of auditory skills by children and the acoustical and psychological factors that govern the spatial aspects of hearing.

The goal of the Center is to perform basic and clinical research, train basic and clinical investigators, and disseminate research results and relevant information to the medical community and the general public. Research is centered on auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) function in normal subjects and in patients with hearing and balance disorders, and on rehabilitation.

dedicated to pursuing the early identification and intervention of hearing loss. The Center believes it is a basic human right which should be available to all infants who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The goal of the Center is is to ensure that all infants and toddlers with hearing loss are identified as early possible and provided with timely and appropriate audiological, educational, and medical intervention.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) which is part of the U.S. Government, under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Studying the fundamental neurobiology of the auditory and vestibular system in order to understand how pathologies occur, and to continue to develop and test new chemical, mechanical and electrical solutions for hearing problems.

a basic science research institute with faculty, students, and staff interested in the study of sensory systems.
