NYU Langone Health
This is a basic investigational research study conducted with hearing impaired adults and children who use cochlear implant or auditory brainstem implant (ABI) devices. The study will evaluate different aspects of hearing and auditory processing in the users of implantable auditory devices.
Inclusion Criteria: * Hearing impaired adult and or child (above 2 years old) who uses ABIs or cochlear implants. * No diagnosis of any other communicative or cognitive disorder other than hearing impairment. The individual must be able to visit the lab in order to participate in behavioral and electrophysiological experiments. * Patients' implant device must have useable electrodes that do not result in uncomfortable or unpleasant non-auditory sensation. Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed cognitive or communicative disorders (other than hearing impairment) * Severe neurological disorders * No…
Measurements taken from the electrode-neural interface will be used to guide elimination of poorly functioning ABI electrodes and improve speech perception outcomes.
