Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences

Larry E. Humes is currently distinguished professor in the Department of Speech, Hearing and Language Sciences at Indiana University. Professor Humes has served as associate editor, editor, and editorial board member for several audiology journals. Professor Humes has received the Honors of the Association and the Alfred Kawana Award for Lifetime Achievement in Publications from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the James Jerger Career Award for Research in Audiology and a Presidential Award from the American Academy of Audiology. He is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and of the International Collegium on Rehabilitative Audiology (ICRA). His most recent research activities have focused on age-related changes in auditory perception, including speech-understanding ability, and on outcome measures for hearing aids.
