Marc Brennan, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Dr. Brennan graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with his bachelor's and master's in communicative disorders, followed by his Ph.D. at the University of Washington. He completed both his clinical fellowship and post-doctoral fellowships at Boys Town National Research Hospital. Research interests involve examining the relationship between high-frequency amplification and the perception of speech, and between compression amplification and the perception of temporal and spectral cues.
Sarah Garvey, B.S.
Sarah Garvey graduated from the University of Rhode Island with her bachelor's in communicative disorders. She has completed her Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.) coursework at Nebraska and is currently completing coursework towards her Ph.D. Sarah works in the AMPLab as a graduate research assistant. Her research examines the effect of amplification on access to spectral cues.
Courtney Kment, M.S.
Courtney Kment is a third-year student in the Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.) program at Nebraska. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Nebraska. Courtney currently works in the AMPLab as a graduate research assistant. Her audiology interests include hearing-aid amplification, vestibular assessment, and pediatric audiology. Her research examines the relationship between spectral resolution and speech recognition.
Marissa LeDoux, B.S.
Marissa LeDoux is a first-year student in the Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.) program at Nebraska. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences from the University of Wyoming. Marissa currently works in the AMPLab as a graduate research assistant. Her audiology interests include pediatric audiology, hearing-aid amplification, and cochlear implants.
Megan Peterson, M.S.
Megan Peterson is a third-year student in the Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.) program at Nebraska. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences from the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities. Megan currently works in the AMPLab as a graduate research assistant. Her audiology interests include pediatric audiology, hearing-aid amplification, and implantable prosthetics. Her research examines the extent to which outcomes on the Communication Profile for the Hearing Impaired questionnaire differed between cochlear implant users and published data of hearing aid users.
Lauren Secilmis, B.S.
Lauren Secilmis is a second-year student in the Clinical Doctorate of Audiology (Au.D.) program at Nebraska. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Science from State University of New York (SUNY) College at Cortland. Lauren is currently working on her capstone project in the AMPLab. Her research examines the impact of frequency lowering with hearing aids on speech recognition. Lauren's audiology interests include pediatric audiology and educational audiology.
