Fourteen years ago, while studying for my master’s degree in music technology at Northwestern University, my advisor Gary Kendall suggested that I might enjoy taking a course in hearing physiology with Jon Siegel in the Department of Communicative Disorders. I had never considered studying this subject, but found this course among the most stimulating of my post-graduate career. Thoroughly entranced by the biological functions of the ear being described in my own language of audio theory and technology, I continued to study in the field and have since developed a course in hearing physiology for the Department of Audio Arts & Acoustics. I suppose I shouldn’t be so shocked to find myself here since, in retrospect, 35 years in the audio field have led to this point. I feel I am now in a position to give back, not only to my students, but to the music listening public through those who are or will be audio and music professionals.
