Development and Application of A Multimodal Perceptual Evaluation and Precision Rehabilitation System in Congenital Deafness
This study aims to establish a novel multimodal evaluation and precision rehabilitation system for patients with congenital hearing loss who have received hearing aids, cochlear implantation, or emerging gene therapy. The proposed system will integrate age-stratified difficulty levels, combined with a gamified interaction platform or software designed to assess and train three core perceptual domains: auditory speech perception, music perception, and spatial hearing capabilities.
• For Congenital Deafness Group: Patients with congenital hearing loss with hearing thresholds ≥65 dB who have received hearing aids, cochlear implantation, or gene therapy; Age between 1 and 35 years old, regardless of gender.
• For Healthy Controls Group: Participants with normal hearing thresholds (≤20 dB) whose age and gender matched to the patient group.
• Mandarin Chinese as the native language. Participants and/or their guardians must provide informed consent before the trial, voluntarily sign a written consent form, and commit to receive evaluation at specified time points.
• Capable of effective communication with researchers under the guardian's assistance and willing to cooperate and comply with the researchers' requirements.
• Participants and/or their guardians should have a correct understanding of the trial and appropriate expectations regarding potential benefits.
