(2021-03-30)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe analysis of image data in image guided surgery can produce promising insights to improve patient outcomes, since medical images provide detailed, patient-specific data on how an intervention affects the anatomy – or ...
-
(2019-09-16)Department: NeuroscienceCochlear implants (CIs)-widely considered the most successful neuroprosthetic devices-afford over half a million users worldwide access to sound perception following severe-to-profound hearing loss. However, visual cues ...
-
(2017-03-22)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe ability to adequately perceive and utilize the prosody of spoken language is important for successful communication. Children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants have demonstrated deficits in perception of ...
-
(Trends in Hearing, 2020-01)Multiple studies have shown significant speech recognition benefit when acoustic hearing is combined with a cochlear implant (CI) for a bimodal hearing configuration. However, this benefit varies greatly between individuals. ...
-
(2017-03-21)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesChildren with hearing loss are at risk for vocabulary delays which can subsequently impact their language and literacy outcomes. Although direct vocabulary instruction can be effective, previous research indicates teachers ...
-
(2021-08-13)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe focus of this dissertation is on the advancement of the tools and techniques used in cochlear-implant (CI) electrode array (EA) insertion to enable improved insertions that will lead to superior patient hearing outcomes. ...
-
(2011-12-06)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe purpose of the study was to examine the developmental effects of duration cues by comparing the phonetic boundaries and slopes of typically-developing (TD) children to adults on a stop-glide continuum, to examine the ...
-
(2016-03-09)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesAn objective measure, not requiring a behavioral response, of speech recognition performance in individuals with cochlear implants (CIs) would be beneficial in directing clinical recommendations. Neuroimaging can be such ...
