Alex Chern, a researcher and fellow in otology-neurotology at Johns Hopkins University, has a personal connection to hearing loss and music. He started playing the violin as a child, which helped with his hearing loss diagnosis. After a car accident, music became essential to his recovery. Now, Chern studies the link between hearing loss, cognition, and music enjoyment. He hopes to improve the experience of music for people with hearing loss by focusing on designing hearing aids and cochlear implants with music in mind. His research aims to measure and enhance the enjoyment of music for individuals with hearing loss.
