Brenda L. Lonsbury-
Martin is a professor
of otolaryngology at
Loma Linda
University and a sen-
ior research scientist
in the Veterans Affairs
Loma Linda
Healthcare System.
She received her BA
in psychology and
zoology from the
University of Victoria
and her MS and Ph.D.
in medical psycholo-
gy and cell biology
from the Oregon
Health and Science
University. After
postdoctoral fellow-
ships in psychobiolo-
gy at the University of
California (Irvine)
and physiology and
biophysics at the
University of Washington, she served as an assistant professor at the latter institution. In 1984, she was appointed as an associ- ate professor at Baylor College of Medicine, and from 1991–2001 she served as the Chandler Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Miami. From 2001–2003, she was a professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and then she served as the Chief of Research and Science for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) until 2006. Her laboratory has conducted physiological research on the auditory system in the areas of otoacoustic emissions and noise-induced hearing loss for over 25 years. She is currently a member of the Technical Committee on Psychological and Physiological Acoustics of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) and also serves on the ASA’s Publication Policy and Public Relations Committees. She is an associate editor (peripheral physiological acoustics) for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) and serves on the Advisory Committee for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America—Express Letters (JASA-EL). Dr. Lonsbury- Martin is currently on the editorial board of Hearing Research,
and is a member of the National Tinnitus Research Consortium, and ASHA’s Advisory Committee on Evid- ence-Based Practice and the American Academy of Otolary- ngology—Head and Neck Surgery’s Com- mittee on Hearing and Balance. She is an elected member of the Board of Directors of the American Audi- tory Society and an ASA fellow.
Glen K. Martin, Ph.D., is a senior research scientist for the Veterans Affairs Loma Linda Health- care System and a professor in the Department of Oto-
laryngology– Head & Neck Surgery at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Dr Martin’s research interests include the early detection of hearing loss using otoacoustic emissions, mechanisms of noise and drug-induced hearing loss, the role of the cochlear efferent system in protecting the ear from noise and ototoxic-drug damage, and cochlear plastic- ity. Dr Martin’s laboratory has been developing and refining procedures to measure otoacoustic emissions to evaluate, screen, and monitor the health of the hearing portion of the inner ear over the past 20 years. He is a member of the American Auditory Society, the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, and the Society for Neuroscience. Dr. Martin received his BS degree in psychology and microbiology at the University of Washington, and his MS and PhD degrees in neu- roscience and physiology from the Oregon Health and Science University. After completing postdoctoral fellowships at the University of California/Irvine and the University of Washington, he was a faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Miami, and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
