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...
- 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 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), is funding the development of a deep learning-based speech enhancement algorithm to improve speech intelligibility for people with hearing loss in noisy environments. The $292,543 award to Omnispeech, LLC, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026, aims to create a...
- 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), will support research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of complex sounds in the auditory cortex following noise-induced hearing loss. The $131,555 award to Oregon Health & Science University will fund large-scale neural recordings and the development of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $131,408 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research on the impact of noise-induced hearing loss on neural representations and processing in the auditory cortex and amygdala. The primary awardee, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, will leverage advanced imaging and recording techniques to investigate how hearing loss leads to maladaptive...
- 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 $726,359.00 in funding over a 5-year period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030. The project aims to evaluate the influence of speech produced under more natural conditions, such as by talkers with unfamiliar accents, conversational styles, and young children, on children's speech...
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 research aims to establish the concept of "noise susceptibility" by quantifying how much noise is required to affect the contribution of individual speech frequency bands to overall intelligibility. This comprehensive study will produce detailed noise-susceptibility functions across 20 ANSI critical frequency bands, advancing the fundamental understanding of how noise impacts speech perception. The project is expected to run from September 2025 through August 2027.
