-
Anatomy-based fitting for single-sided deaf CI users
This study tests whether anatomy-based fitting changes how well adults with single-sided deafness use a cochlear implant to understand speech in noise and to enjoy music.
-
Anatomy-Based Fitting for People with a Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid
This study tests whether an anatomy-based frequency distribution works better than the default one for adults with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid.
-
Binaural cue sensitivity with combined electric and acoustic hearing in children and adults
This project will test whether children and adults with cochlear implants and preserved low-frequency hearing can use binaural hearing cues better when they have both electric and acoustic stimulation.
-
Combining electric and acoustic hearing for better outcomes in children and adults
This study tests if combining electric and acoustic hearing helps children and adults with cochlear implants understand speech better and hear sounds around them more clearly.
-
Comparing cochlear implant fitting methods for better outcomes
This study is testing which cochlear implant fitting method works better for new users by comparing standard fitting, anatomy-based fitting, and a mix of both.
-
Evaluating music and voice skills in cochlear implant users
This study is testing how well kids and adults with cochlear implants enjoy and understand music compared to people with normal hearing.
