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
