Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology
The Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology (SHBT) PhD program in the Harvard–MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology is an interdisciplinary training program designed to produce the next generation of pioneers in basic and clinical speech and hearing research. The program was established in 1992 by Nelson Kiang, and is currently co-directed by Drs. Louis Braida and Bertrand Delgutte.

As of 2006, the program has graduated about 60 PhD students in nearly all areas of speech and hearing research: auditory mechanics, peripheral and central auditory neuroscience, auditory psychophysics, hearing aids/cochlear implants, speech perception and production, machine processing of speech, language processing, voice disorders/laryngeal physiology, and vestibular physiology. Graduates may combine research careers with clinical practice in otology, laryngology, audiology, or speech–language pathology.

There are about 50 faculty members in the SHBT program, most of which hold appointments at MIT or Harvard Medical School. The main laboratories are at MIT, Harvard, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, Boston University, and Northeastern University.
