Encoding Temporal Fine Structure for Cochlear Implants


Sponsor

University of Southern California

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Sep 1, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to improve music and speech perception for cochlear implant users. Presently, most cochlear implants discard the temporal fine structure of sound, which is information that is widely believed to contribute to both music and speech perception. The proposed work examines perceptual and physiological changes that occur once this information is provided to cochlear implant users in a clear and consistent manner.


Eligibility
