Summary
Frederick Gallun is a professor and auditory neuroscience researcher based in Portland, Oregon, with eight years of documented professional experience and a PhD from UC Berkeley. He investigates how aging, hearing loss, and traumatic brain injury affect central auditory function, focusing on binaural sensitivity, temporal processing, and speech understanding. Frederick leads efforts to "flip the lab" by developing freely available tools that run on consumer-grade technology to bring rigorous scientific methods into clinics and classrooms. His work bridges basic science and practical deployment—creating accessible assessments and training games that translate research into real-world hearing care. With postdoctoral training at Boston University and a longstanding academic trajectory, he combines deep expertise in auditory perception with a commitment to scalable, translational solutions. An underappreciated strength is his focus on spatial hearing benefits, an area that directly improves everyday communication for listeners with hearing challenges.
