Her work develops novel EEG-based hearing diagnostics, personalized treatment strategies, and AI-driven hearing technologies.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vcYSGchyMIg\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isabelle Roux, PhD, DABMGGStaff Scientist, NIDCD, NIHLijin Dong, PhDAssociate Scientist,NEI, NIH\u2014Director, NEI GeneticEngineering Core Dr. Isabelle Roux is a Staff Scientist at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11009","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11009"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11966,"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11009\/revisions\/11966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
