speech and hearing sciences

Speech and hearing sciences study how humans produce, perceive, and understand spoken language. This field explores the physical processes involved in speaking and hearing, as well as the neurological, cognitive, and social factors that influence communication. It includes examining voice production, sound transmission, auditory processing, and language comprehension. Professionals in this area work to diagnose and treat communication disorders, develop hearing devices, and improve techniques for effective communication. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance people’s ability to connect and share information through spoken language.
