- 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 $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 Creighton University $161,405 on July 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate how noise-induced hearing loss alters the auditory efferent system and contributes to central auditory hyperactivity. The research examines lateral olivocochlear neurons, the most abundant efferent neurons responsible for brain-to-ear feedback and hearing protection after...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Baylor College of Medicine $684,114 on August 21, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate how the dorsal cochlear nucleus, the brainstem circuit responsible for localizing sounds in the vertical plane, integrates multimodal sensory inputs—including ear movement, head movement, and neuromodulatory signals reflecting brain state—during active behavior...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Texas at Dallas $416,155 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate neural mechanisms supporting naturalistic dyadic interactions in young adults with developmental language disorder (DLD) using high-density diffuse optical tomography.
