This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will investigate the neuroplasticity and early adaptations of the brain to cochlear implants in both human patients and rodent models. The $251,856 award, granted to New York University School of Medicine, aims to expand the recipient's skills in conducting longitudinal studies of human...
This $147,656 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will fund research to investigate how spatial and temporal auditory cues are integrated in normal hearing and single-sided deaf populations. The research aims to establish baseline measures of spatial biases on timing judgments in normal hearing adults and examine the effects of...
This federal Project Grant award of $521,432 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research to develop a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex. The model will integrate aspects of binaural processing and efferent gain control to investigate how they influence the perception of complex sounds, including speech intelligibility, in...
This $147,486 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research into neural mechanisms underlying spatial auditory attention.

This $662,162 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to investigate binaural integration of spectral and temporal information in individuals with hearing loss and hearing devices. The key objectives are to: 1) understand how listeners with hearing loss differ from normal-hearing listeners in binaural...

This federal Project Grant award for $682,911.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant aims to study the perceptual adaptation process that occurs in cochlear implant (CI) users after initial device activation, with the goal of improving speech perception and sound quality outcomes.

The key research objectives include:

  1. Longitudinally studying adaptation to frequency mismatch in single-sided deaf CI users, using innovative speech-based and pitch matching tools.
  2. Examining adaptation over time using peripheral and central measures in traditional CI users without usable residual hearing.
  3. Evaluating interventional approaches to overcome frequency mismatch in both single-sided deaf CI users and those without usable residual hearing.

The award was made to New York University School of Medicine and has an expected completion date of July 31, 2029. The findings from this research are intended to provide foundational insights about the adaptation process after CI activation and identify potential clinical interventions to improve outcomes for CI users.
