Professor
College of Nursing and Health Sciences
Dr Mridula Sharma is a Professor of Audiology and an Academic Lead for Masters of Audiology course at Flinders University. She has broad interests in hearing and neuroscience including speech perception, listening disorders, evoked potentials and auditory plasticity in children and adults. Dr Sharma has investigated the effects of cognition such as attention and memory on listening. Her current projects include investigating the association between auditory processing and reading skills in children; speech perception in noise and the role of language and attention. Her international collaborations include University of Auckland and Capital Medical University China.
