What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying auditory processing in adults and children with hearing impairments who use cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants (ABI). This interventional study aims to evaluate how these implantable auditory devices affect hearing and auditory processing by examining both perceptual and physiological responses. Participants will undergo two types of measurements: perceptual tests where sounds are played and behavioral responses like identifying words or judging sound differences are collected, and physiological assessments involving noninvasive recordings of nervous system activity. The study focuses on users of cochlear or auditory brainstem implants and utilizes measurements from the electrode-neural interface to guide improvements in device electrode function. During study visits, which last about three hours, participants will be assessed on their ability to correctly identify speech materials and stimuli characteristics when multiple sounds are presented. These evaluations help researchers understand speech perception outcomes and auditory processing in implant users. The study is conducted by NYU Langone Health and runs until December 2026, including participants aged 2 to 90 years.
