The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $662,162 Project Grant (R01DC022777) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The grant, with a period of performance from April 4, 2025 to March 31, 2030, aims to investigate binaural fusion and integration of spectral and temporal information in individuals with hearing loss, including those using hearing aids and cochlear implants. The research seeks to address gaps in understanding how abnormal binaural fusion may contribute to speech perception difficulties in noisy environments, a major challenge for many hearing-impaired individuals. The project will also explore the potential for top-down and multi-sensory cues to improve binaural fusion and rehabilitation outcomes. The findings are expected to provide broader insights into the neural mechanisms underlying binaural fusion and establish a framework for future treatments to enhance binaural benefits and speech perception in noise.
