    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Rebecca Lewis's research and clinical work focuses on advancing hearing health outcomes and increasing accessibility, particularly for individuals using cochlear implants and hearing aids. In her clinical practice, she emphasizes personalized care by thoroughly exploring patient histories, developing tailored treatment plans, and ensuring comprehensive follow-up. Her approach integrates advanced audiological tools and multi-language resources to provide equitable care for diverse populations.

    In her research, Dr. Lewis investigates predictors of successful hearing aid and cochlear implant outcomes, examining candidacy measures and analyzing both objective and subjective data. Her work includes exploring innovative metrics, such as harmonic consonance-dissonance perception, and refining clinical tools to enhance patient care. She is also engaged in creating educational resources, utilizing AI and automation to increase accessibility and improve patient understanding.

    Additionally, Dr. Lewis plays a key role in mentoring and leading quality improvement projects within audiology, welcoming collaborations with other institutions to bridge research and clinical applications. Her overarching goal is to improve patient-centered care and outcomes in the field of audiology, combining clinical practice and research to drive meaningful innovations.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
