Bio:

Raymond Carhart (GC34, 36), the “grandfather of audiology,” was one of the department’s first two PhD graduates — in speech pathology, experimental phonetics and psychology. He may be best known for developing and refining speech audiometry, the measure of hearing ability, particularly as it pertains to the efficiency of hearing aids. This research especially assisted war veterans, and Carhart, who served seven years as captain in the Medical Administrative Corps, knew their plight well. Soon after World War II the Veterans’ Administration named the Northwestern speech clinic the first of several agencies to assist war veterans with their speech and hearing.
