Research Interests

• Engaged in the clinical and basic research in the inner ear disease for more than 10 years, focus on clinical study of management of peripheral vertigo, subjective tinnitus, prevention strategy of noise induced hearing loss. In the field of noise induced hearing loss, we found that auditory processing abilities can be significantly impaired in the subjects exposing to noise before a significant hearing threshold shift can be identified and we provide evidence to re-emphasize the contribution of auditory brain to the processing disorders.  We also found that the growth of hearing loss among shipyard workers was more rapid at 12.5 kHz than other frequencies. Workers with clinically normal hearing but high  cumulative noise exposure are likely to exhibit deficits in speech and temporal processing. The studies funded by 4 projects of National Nature Science Foundation of China.
