Speech Recognition in Individuals with Cochlear Implants

​​Principal Investigator: Adam Bosen, Ph.D.

The purpose of this study is to identify the auditory and cognitive factors that determine speech understanding ability in individuals with cochlear implants. Participants will listen to speech in clear or degraded listening conditions and then repeat back what they hear. In addition, participants will complete a variety of cognitive and listening tasks to assess memory and hearing sensitivity.
