About

After completing my undergraduate degree in Audiology at Hacettepe University, I earned a master's degree in the Audiology and Speech Disorders program at Marmara University. I am currently continuing my doctoral studies in the same program. Since 2019 I have served as a lecturer in the Audiology Program at the Vocational School of Health Services, Istanbul Okan University. My current research focuses on listening effort, music perception in cochlear implant users, sound-quality perception and quality of life, and the interactions of cognitive and auditory processes.
