Summary

This trial will study the hearing of adults and kids with hearing impairments who use implants to hear. It will evaluate how well the implants work.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for hearing-impaired adults and children over 2 years old who use cochlear or auditory brainstem implants. Participants must not have other cognitive or communicative disorders, severe neurological issues, and their implant's electrodes must be functional without causing discomfort.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how well people with cochlear or auditory brainstem implants process sounds. It involves behavioral and electrophysiological experiments conducted in a lab setting to evaluate the effectiveness of these devices in restoring hearing functions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an observational study focusing on auditory processing, there are no direct side effects from interventions like drugs or surgeries. However, participants may experience fatigue or discomfort during testing procedures.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Hearing-Impaired Individuals who use Cochlear Implants or Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) DevicesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Two types of measurements will be obtained: 1. Perceptual: one or more sounds are presented and a behavioral response is collected (e.g., judgements of loudness, pitch or other differences between the sounds, or identifying the word or sentence that was said). 2. Physiological: noninvasive electrophysiological recordings of nervous system activity.
