About this trial

The purpose of this study is to understand performance with a cochlear implant. The long-term goals of this research are to improve sound perception with cochlear implants and to better understand the functioning of the auditory system. Information from individuals with and without cochlear implants will be compared.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Be 7 years of age or older and pre-lingually implanted with a cochlear implant (before the age of 2 years), have aided residual hearing, or have normal hearing.

Be ages 18 or older and post-lingually implanted or have normal hearing.

Be ages 18-35 and pre-lingually implanted.

Disqualifiers

Any child implanted post-lingually
