Hillary Snapp, AuD, PhD is the Chief of Audiology and Associate Professor at the University of Miami Ear Institute. She is a clinician-scientist carrying out research in hearing implants and auditory spatial perception. Her work examines the mechanisms underlying the variations observed in hearing-impaired individuals for complex auditory tasks such as speech perception in noise and localization ability. Dr. Snapp established the Auditory Spatial Laboratory at the University of Miami which focuses on identifying behavioral and objective markers of hearing, and includes novel methods of evaluating spatial auditory perception, speech recognition, and processing of acoustic signals. She has lectured nationally and internationally on these topics. Dr. Snapp is the Director of Clinical Education in Audiology and serves as a lead researcher, clinician, and educator to students, residents, and fellows at the University of Miami.
