Dr. Hillock received her Bachelors of Science (B.S.) degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and Psychology from Syracuse University in 1999 and her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 2003. Her graduate research at Northwestern involved analysis of speech-evoked frequency following responses in individuals with Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-synchrony (AN/AD). Her primary research interests include AN/AD, central auditory system development and plasticity, auditory evoked potentials and efferent auditory system effects. 

 

She is a member of several professional organizations including the American Academy of Audiology, American Speech Language Hearing Association and Association for Research in Otolaryngology. She is also an associate member of the National Association of Future Doctors of Audiology for which she served on the Board of Directors as the Government Relations Committee chairperson from 2005-2006.
