NCT05810220

Brief Summary

This is a basic investigational research study conducted with hearing impaired adults and children who use cochlear implant or auditory brainstem implant (ABI) devices. The study will evaluate different aspects of hearing and auditory processing in the users of implantable auditory devices.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent of Correctly-Identified Speech Materials

    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.

    Day 1 (Visit 1 - Average visit length is about 3 hours)

  • Percent of Correctly-Identified Stimuli Characteristics when Two or More Stimuli are Presented

    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.

    Day 1 (Visit 1 - Average visit length is about 3 hours)

Study Arms (1)

Hearing-Impaired Individuals who use Cochlear Implants or Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) Devices

EXPERIMENTAL

Two types of measurements will be obtained: 1. Perceptual: one or more sounds are presented and a behavioral response is collected (e.g., judgements of loudness, pitch or other differences between the sounds, or identifying the word or sentence that was said). 2. Physiological: noninvasive electrophysiological recordings of nervous system activity.

Device: Electrode-Neural Interface

Interventions

Measurements taken from the electrode-neural interface will be used to guide elimination of poorly functioning ABI electrodes and improve speech perception outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria

Age2 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • 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.

You may not qualify if:

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