In those with hearing loss, using hearing aids or cochlear implants was associated with a long-term reduction of cognitive decline by 19% and a 3% improvement in cognitive test scores.
Music may help children with hearing impairments to develop spoken language skills.
A new study reports it takes longer for deaf infants to become familiar with new objects. Researchers say the study highlights a difference in how infants process information, even when the information is not auditory in nature.
Max Planck Institute researchers report deaf children who receive cochlear implants are better at learning words when introduced to spoken word than children with normal hearing.
Researchers report many hearing tests fail to pick up a common form of inner ear damage that leads to hearing loss.
A new study aims to discover how children with cochlear implants learn new words differently from children with normal hearing.
Neuroimaging technology can help determine the success of failure possibilities of cochlear implants for those who lose their hearing during adulthood.
Researchers use gene therapy to help restore hearing in mice down to the equivalent of being able to hear a whisper.
A new study reports that the neural architecture of the auditory cortex is virtually identical in those who are profoundly deaf and those who can hear.
Researchers are attempting to re-engineer and simplify music to be more enjoyable for people with cochlear implants.
