Assessing the Effect of Computer-based Auditory Training on Adult Cochlear Implant Speech and Quality-of-life Outcomes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI …
Correlation of Radiological Lesions With Vestibular Function in Patients With Bilateral Vestibulopathy
In 2014 radiologic lesions were detected at one or more semicircular canals using CT and MR imaging of temporal bone in subjects carrying the p.P51S mutation in COCH. These lesions are believed to present at more advanced stages of the hearing and vestibular deterioration. Since then, other authors have described …
Reading Outcomes in Children With Vestibular Loss
Vestibular loss can co-occur with hearing loss causing dual sensory deficits. This project examines vestibular loss as a contributing factor to reading difficulties for children with hearing loss, where previously only the effects of hearing loss and subsequent language difficulties have been considered. These results are expected to influence the …
Place-based Cochlear Implant Mapping
The current standard of care approach for programming cochlear implants uses a generalized pitch-map for all patients. This approach fails to account for individualized inner ear anatomy. As a result, many cochlear implant recipients experience place-pitch mismatch. We have recently developed an automated mathematical tool to produce patient-specific, customized cochlear …
Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, …
Clinical Trial to Compare Two Surgical Approaches to the Cochlea
This is a prospective multicenter multinational randomized control trial. The duration of the study for the individual patient will be approximately 1 year (pre-operative assessments, 1 week, 3 months and 12 months follow-up assessments). Participants will be randomized to one of two surgical approaches: eRW or CO, with a 1:1 …
Cochlear Implant Speech in Noise Processing
The study will help us in understanding the neural mechanisms by which listeners with a cochlear implant detect speech in noisy environments.
