A Child Hears Using Synchronized Binaural Stimuli in Litovsky's Lab

Caption

Using both ears to hear increases speech recognition and improves sound localization. Ruth Litovsky, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, wants to bring this advantage to people who use cochlear implants. During the 175th ASA Meeting, Litovsky will present data showing a new technique that synchronizes the cochlear signals that stimulate the brain in a way that is similar to people who can hear normally. A child hears using synchronized binaural stimuli in Litovsky's lab.
