Binaural listening and its effects on listening effort and development in Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants
This study will test whether listening with two ears (two cochlear implants or a cochlear implant plus a hearing aid) reduces mental effort and helps brain, social, and daily-life development in Mandarin-speaking children aged 6–18 who use cochlear implants compared with children with normal hearing.
-
Improving speech in noise and sound localization for cochlear implant users
A new processing algorithm is tested to see if it helps people with bilateral cochlear implants understand speech in noisy environments and tell where sounds come from.
-
How cochlear implants affect listening effort and understanding in everyday conversations
The researchers will test whether measuring listening effort with pupil tracking and using realistic speech tasks can explain and improve how adults with cochlear implants understand everyday conversations.
-
Low-energy (LE) Bluetooth audio streaming with Nucleus 8 and Kanso 3 sound processors
This project will test whether low-energy (LE) Bluetooth audio streaming is accepted and works well for experienced adult cochlear implant users who use Nucleus 8 or Kanso 3 processors.
-
Early use of a cochlear implant in the first year
This project will test whether adults newly fitted with a cochlear implant notice changes in simple sound perception and improved speech understanding during their first year of device use using take-home and lab listening tests.
