Biography

Jane Mondul, Au.D., Ph.D., CCC-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences at Purdue University. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Neuroscience from St. Olaf College. She earned her Au.D. with a specialty in pediatrics from Vanderbilt University after completing her clinical externship at the Medical University of South Carolina. She completed her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University and postdoctoral research training in Auditory Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Jane’s research investigates the effects of noise exposure on the olivocochlear efferent system and hearing-in-noise abilities. Her research experience spans basic, translational, and clinical domains in human and animal models, with the goal of improving research implementation. Jane is also passionate about integrating clinical perspectives with basic science to enhance audiology education.
