Audiology Research

Audiology is a fast evolving discipline. Plenty of researches have been undertaken worldwide in the past decades in areas including, but are not limited to, electrophysiologic measurements of neural function, hearing conservation programs, auditory implants, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, tinnitus, speech perception, auditory processing, psychoacoustics, hearing aid design, and the psychosocial consequences of hearing loss.

Rhinology Research

Rhinology research at CUHK spans a wide range of areas, including allergic and non allergic rhinitis, sinusitis and nasal polyps, collaborative microbiology and cytokine studies, development and evaluation of surgical instruments, investigations into benign nasal pathologies, and research related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). These efforts contribute to improved diagnosis, management, and patient outcomes.

Speech-language Pathology Research

Speech Therapy is the study of disorders that affect a person's communication, language, speech, cognition, voice and swallowing abilities. The disorders often occur with surgeries of the head and neck, cerebral vascular accidents (stroke), brain tumors, head injuries and neuromuscular diseases.

Smell Research

Smell research at CUHK focuses on advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of olfactory disorders. Through the dedicated CUHK Smell Clinic, ongoing clinical and translational studies investigate the mechanisms underlying smell loss, its relationship with nasal and sinus diseases, and emerging medical and surgical approaches aimed at restoring olfactory function and improving patient quality of life.
