Education

  • B.A., Audiology / Speech Pathology, University of Michigan
  • M.A., Audiology / Speech Pathology, San Diego State University
  • Ph.D., Speech and Hearing Sciences, City University of New York

Professional Memberships/Affiliations

  • International Society of Audiology
  • American Academy of Audiology
  • American Auditory Society
  • Acoustical Society of America

Academic and Clinical Teaching Areas

  • Hearing Amplification
  • Research and Evidence-Based Practice in Audiology
  • Psychoacoustics and Speech Perception

Scholarly Areas

Dr. Mackersie’s primary research interests include the perceptual consequences of hearing loss and hearing amplification. Her research foci include auditory and non-auditory factors underlying individual differences in speech perception & benefit from amplification, physiological indices of hearing-related stress, and user self-adjustment of hearing amplification.
