This NIH-funded project develops a clinical assessment tool to diagnose and improve speech cue access in cochlear implant patients, aiming to enhance speech recognition outcomes through personalized interventions.
Description
The project aims to develop an assessment tool to diagnose poor speech cue transmission in patients with cochlear implants. This tool will help clinicians modify implant processors to improve access to speech cues, ultimately enhancing speech recognition outcomes. The research involves establishing normative measures, identifying mechanisms of poor band access, and testing the effects of stimuli and listening conditions.
