Research project funded to study how modified binaural cues can help cochlear implant users better understand speech in noisy environments using neuroimaging and behavioral methods.
Description
This project aims to improve speech understanding in the presence of background noise by individuals fitted with cochlear implants by altering binaural cues and using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to establish both the extent and the mechanisms of benefit.
