Patrick Feeney 

Associate Professor, Audiologist
Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery

Patrick Feeney joined the faculty of the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Washington in September 2002 as an Associate Professor and Chief of Audiology. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of Washington, and in the Ohio State University Department of Speech and Hearing Science. His research focus is on diagnostic audiology with an emphasis on middle-ear assessment. This work was recently funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health to examine the aging middle ear using wideband reflectance measurements. A current focus is the application of wideband reflectance measurements to study the acoustic stapedius reflex and middle-ear disorders. He currently serves as Chair of the Research Committee of the American Academy of Audiology, is a member of the Research and Scientific Affairs Committee of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), is the Coordinator for the ASHA Special Interest Division 6, Hearing and Hearing Disorders: Research and Diagnostics, and is the Chair of the Audiology Coordinating Committee of the ASHA Board of Division Coordinators.
