<p>I completed my graduate training in Audiology and Speech and Language Disorders at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, where I obtained both my Master’s and PhD degrees. I continue to pursue academic and clinical work in the field of hearing sciences.</p> <p>My primary areas of expertise include cochlear implant applications, preoperative candidate assessment, intraoperative monitoring, postoperative audiological follow-up, and long-term outcome evaluation. My work also encompasses advanced electrophysiological assessments, including auditory brainstem response (ABR), electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (eABR), and electrically evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (eCAEP). I further focus on integrating comprehensive objective test batteries into evidence-based clinical decision-making processes.</p> <p>My research addresses the diagnosis of hearing loss in both pediatric and adult populations, as well as the systematic evaluation of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative cochlear implant processes and outcomes. I have presented scientific papers at national and international conferences and continue to integrate research activities with clinical practice.</p>
