Nicholas S. Reed is an associate professor in the Departments of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and Population Health and core faculty at the NYU Langone Health Optimal Aging Institute. He combines his training in clinical audiology (AuD, Towson University) and public health with a focus in epidemiology (PhD, Johns Hopkins University) to approach his research on hearing loss and aging.
More narrowly, Dr. Reed focuses hearing aid technology, hearing aid use in the United States, the associations between hearing loss and cognitive decline, social function, and health care outcomes/interactions (e.g., satisfaction with care, inpatient safety, quality of care, delirium, etc.), as well as whether interventions targeting hearing loss, including hearing aid use, can mitigate these associations.
Dr. Reed attended his first Network for Investigation of Delirium: Unifying Scientists (NIDUS) Delirium Bootcamp as a trainee in 2020 where he formed the basis for his NIA/NIH K23 award examining hearing loss and delirium in the hospital setting. He has returned to each NIDUS Bootcamp since then as faculty to discuss career growth and lecture on the design and importance of pilot studies.
