Biography

Elizabeth Leigh is an Audiologist with over 25 years of experience as a clinician, researcher, and educator. She established Central Auditory Clinics at two VA hospitals to diagnose and treat patients with hearing issues despite normal audiologic assessments. Elizabeth was among the first to explore hearing problems beyond pure-tone threshold tests, particularly in Veterans. Her research focuses on the effects of aging and minimal hearing loss on auditory temporal coding and speech understanding in noise. She has published and presented extensively on how abnormal binaural processing impacts speech perception in noise.
