Title: Research on communication abilities of children with cochlear implants
Description: The goal of work in my lab is to better understand a range of
abilities exhibited by children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants.
The research addresses questions associated with speech production, speech
perception and literacy. Work involves obtaining speech samples from children
for analysis, along with a range of related measures that inform us about
listening experience, social economic status, residual hearing, etc.
