Saravanan Elangovan, PhD

Dr. Saravanan Elangovan joined the UTHSC Audiology program in 2023. His research interests include understanding mechanisms that underlie and influence speech and auditory processing in specialized listeners (musicians, bilingual speakers) and atypical listeners (adults with diabetes, concussion). His research involves both behavioral (gap detection, spatial speech tests) and physiological measures (cortical auditory evoked responses). His clinical interests are in the areas of auditory processing, cochlear implants and neonatal/infant auditory diagnostics.
