The recipient of our next Hyperacusis Research research grant is Manoj Kumar, Ph.D.!
Manoj, an assistant professor of otolaryngology at the University of Pittsburgh, will be researching the KCNQ2/3 potassium channel as it relates to the mitigation of noise-trauma–induced hypersensitivity to sounds in mice.
Welcome, Manoj!
