Investigating Auditory Processing in the Users of Auditory Brainstem and Cochlear Implants
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
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.

View:
• 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.

Treatments
Experimental: Hearing-Impaired Individuals who use Cochlear Implants or Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) Devices
Two types of measurements will be obtained:~1. Perceptual: one or more sounds are presented and a behavioral response is collected (e.g., judgements of loudness, pitch or other differences between the sounds, or identifying the word or sentence that was said).~2. Physiological: noninvasive electrophysiological recordings of nervous system activity.
