Amanda Griffin | Professional History

My primary research and clinical interests center on pediatric unilateral hearing loss and were inspired from my early clinical experiences at Boston Children’s during my externship in 2011-2012.

As a clinical-research audiologist I have the privilege to work with children and families in both the clinical and research settings. I believe in maximizing outcomes for children with hearing loss by following evidence-based clinical practice, partnering with families and schools, and collaborating with colleagues through Boston Children’s unique whole-child approach.
