Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Subjects will be adults (age 18+) who (a) have received or are scheduled to receive one or more cochlear implants in order to be able to hear, (b) have undergone or are scheduled to undergo corrective surgery to restore hearing, or (c) who wear hearing aids. Subjects who have one cochlear implant for single-sided deafness will have no more than mild to moderate hearing loss in the non-implanted ear. Subjects will have no other known disability, and will primarily use oral language.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: People who do not use oral language will be excluded. Individuals who have a cochlear implant, hearing aid, or surgical correction in only one ear may be excluded from this study if the other ear has more than moderate hearing loss. Individuals who have cochlear implants made by manufacturers other than Cochlear Corporation or Advanced Bionics will not participate in experiments in Objective 1, as our lab currently has research platforms provided only by those two manufacturers. The research platforms are only compatible with cochlear implants manufactured by the providing company.
