- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Texas at Austin $382,867 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds research on dendritic integration and synaptic plasticity in the medial superior olive (MSO), the first critical stage for processing interaural time differences—temporal cues the brain uses for horizontal sound localization and speech perception in...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Texas at Austin $439,875 on July 10, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop an in vivo cell labeling system in Mongolian gerbils linking sensory perception to underlying brain circuitry in sound localization. The research focuses on the superior olivary complex, specifically the medial and lateral superior olive nuclei that process...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Texas at Austin $192,953 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the role of extended high frequencies on speech perception challenges in aging. The research addresses a critical gap in clinical audiology: many adults experience difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments by midlife despite normal results on...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of South Florida $164,329 on September 16, 2025, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to conduct parallel human and animal studies examining associations between extended high frequency hearing loss, speech-in-noise performance, and cognitive decline in aging populations. The funded research encompasses two coordinated aims. Aim 1 involves assessment...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Pittsburgh $664,448 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173).

The project combines large-scale neural recordings with optogenetic manipulations to examine how local auditory...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary $467,323 on July 10, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate auditory-arousal circuits in normal and disordered hearing. The project characterizes central auditory function across all brain states, including sleep, and relates arousal dysregulation to the degree of auditory perceptual gain in subjects with hearing...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded The Johns Hopkins University $194,270 on May 11, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the development of auditory thalamocortical circuits and how they are altered in cases of congenital deafness. The project will establish a foundational understanding of how the thalamus and auditory cortex develop and mature through sensory experience, with...
