Optimizing Cochlear Implant Care: Current Advances and Future Directions

Cochlear implants (CIs) provide access to auditory information for individuals with significant hearing loss for whom conventional hearing aids provide insufficient benefit. Although substantial hearing benefit is associated with CI use, speech perception and speech production outcomes remain variable across CI users. One key component of my research program is to better understand speech perception abilities and their relationship with speech production. My work on speech perception in CI users combines behavioral assessments with objective neurophysiological measures

Predicting Speech Perception from the Audiogram and Vice Versa

The goal of this research was to investigate a new method of converting between audiograms and speech perception measures to demonstrate their equivalence or otherwise with a goal of increasing the understanding of the connection between speech perception performance and hearing loss.
