Biography

Sumit Dhar studies hearing, hearing loss, and hearing healthcare. His major focus is on understanding the physiology and biophysics related to sounds created in the inner ear, specifically otoacoustic emissions. By recording sounds using small microphones placed in the ear, he aims to understand the workings of the inner ear and analyze methods to detect malfunction at the earliest stages. Dhar is also deeply interested in hearing healthcare delivery and strives to understand the barriers individuals face when seeking hearing health care. Once these barriers are identified, his research group works on devising tools and methods to eliminate them, ultimately improving the affordability of hearing healthcare.
