Children with cochlear implants (CIs) face challenges in tonal perception under noise.
Nevertheless, our previous research demonstrated that seeing visual-articulatory cues …

Seeing the visual articulatory movements of a speaker, while hearing their voice, helps with
understanding what is said. This multisensory enhancement is particularly evident in noisy …

Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize its structure or function in response to
experiences, learning, and environmental influences. This phenomenon is particularly …

We examined the impact of exposure to a signed language (American Sign Language, or
ASL) at different ages on the neural systems that support spoken language phonemic …

Background: Longitudinal studies highlight the importance of early intervention and timely
device fitting for language development in children with congenital or early acquired hearing …

Objective: Despite evidence that cross-modal effects after hearing loss and cochlear
implantation are primarily conveyed through synaptic gain and efficacy rather than …

Objective To examine whether the responsiveness of young children to simple sounds was
associated with entertainment screen time (EST), opportunities for social interaction, and …

Introduction Cochlear implant (CI) provision has been shown to be the only hearing
rehabilitation option that can improve speech perception in noise and sound localization in …

Background This study explores the compensatory neural mechanisms associated with
congenital deafness through an examination of tactile discrimination abilities using high …

Little is known about the effects of childhood mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss
(MM HL) on the function of the auditory pathway. We aimed to examine the effect of …
