Investigating Auditory Processing in Users of Auditory Brainstem and Cochlear Implants

This study is looking into how people who use cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants (ABI) hear and process sounds. Researchers will take measurements from your implant's "Electrode-Neural Interface" to help improve how well you understand speech. The study aims to see how accurately you can identify speech and different sounds. You may be able to join if you are between 2 and 90 years old, use an ABI or cochlear implant, and don't have other communication or thinking disorders. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 200 participants.
What's involved
You would need to visit the lab for behavioral and electrophysiological experiments. The first visit is expected to last about 3 hours.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary measurements for speech and sound identification are taken at Day 1 (Visit 1).

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Hearing impaired adult and or child (above 2 years old) who uses ABIs or cochlear implants.
No diagnosis of any other communicative or cognitive disorder other than hearing impairment. The individual must be able to visit the lab in order to participate in behavioral and electrophysiological experiments.
Patients' implant device must have useable electrodes that do not result in uncomfortable or unpleasant non-auditory sensation.

Exclusion

Diagnosed cognitive or communicative disorders (other than hearing impairment)
Severe neurological disorders
No useable electrodes in their implants

What this trial measures

  • Percent of Correctly-Identified Speech MaterialsDay 1 (Visit 1 - Average visit length is about 3 hours)

    Participants will listen to speech sounds and indicate what sentence or word they heard. The outcome is the percent of speech sounds that are correctly identified.

  • Percent of Correctly-Identified Stimuli Characteristics when Two or More Stimuli are PresentedDay 1 (Visit 1 - Average visit length is about 3 hours)

    Two or more stimuli will be presented to participants, who will indicate which one is louder, which is higher pitched, or which one is different. The outcome is the percent of stimuli characteristics that are correctly identified.
