Studies of the Effects of Asymmetric Hearing Loss on the Brain [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Ryugo (Principal investigator)

Brief description Hearing loss impairs the normal development and maintenance of auditory pathways. Irreversible pathologies persist when hearing is not restored in a timely manner. While cochlear implantation is the accepted treatment for profound sensorineural hearing loss, there is significant variability in outcomes. Some of this variability is linked to the degree of hearing asymmetry. Thus, we propose to study brain changes in the auditory system that accompany asymmetric hearing impairment.
