- This $647,518 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, supports research investigating the impact of cochlear synaptopathy on brainstem mechanisms of monaural temporal processing and binaural hearing. The study aims to understand the neural mechanisms and loci in the auditory system that produce listening difficulties, which can emerge...
- This federal Project Grant award of $583,125 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying cochlear implant (CI) outcomes. The long-term goal is to develop CI stimulation strategies that optimize brain function and plasticity to improve speech comprehension for CI users. Key objectives include identifying...
- This federal Project Grant award of $662,162 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program. The award supports research by Oregon Health & Science University to investigate binaural spectral and temporal integration in individuals with hearing loss and hearing devices. The research aims to better understand abnormal binaural fusion and its association with...
- This Project Grant award was made by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders grant program (CFDA 93.173). The $147,486 award, made on June 11, 2025, supports research at Carnegie Mellon University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the benefit of interaural level difference (ILD) magnification for improving spatial auditory attention in bilateral cochlear implant users....
- The federal Project Grant award of $293,512 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to develop a binaural beamforming algorithm for cochlear implant processors. This innovative technology will provide highly directional spatial filtering in noisy environments while preserving binaural cues to improve speech perception for cochlear implant users. The project,...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $610,725 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) effective May 2, 2025 with a completion date of April 30, 2030. The project will characterize the physiological mechanisms contributing to "suprathreshold deficits" in sensorineural hearing loss, where individuals struggle to understand...
- The University of Connecticut was awarded a $333,935 Project Grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders grant program (CFDA 93.173), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2030. The grant supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying human speech recognition in the presence of natural environmental noises, such as competing talkers, wind, rain, and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $154,568 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct research on "Human Cochlear Masking and Suppression Measured Using Dynamic Stimuli." The award period runs from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Through this grant, USC will perform research to investigate solutions to problems relevant to...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), through the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $377,700 Project Grant to The Washington University to develop and validate a clinical decision support tool for early risk stratification of cochlear implant (CI) speech perception performance. The goal is to leverage artificial intelligence and novel variables to improve patient counseling, auditory rehabilitation...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program, supports research on the susceptibility of speech to noise. The $433,084 grant awarded to The Ohio State University will confirm, refine, and extend prior findings on how noise levels differentially impact the intelligibility of speech across the frequency spectrum. The...
This 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), provides $585,999.00 to the University of South Florida to conduct research on improving speech understanding for individuals with cochlear implants in the presence of background noise. The research aims to examine how spatial cues can support communication by exploring the interactions between auditory spatial features and task demands across cortical networks. The award period runs from Aug 6, 2025 to Jul 31, 2030 and will utilize behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to establish the extent and mechanisms of benefit from altering binaural cues in the form of magnified interaural level differences. This research seeks to advance scientific understanding and treatment strategies for individuals with hearing and communication disorders.
