Parent experiences with genetic testing for pediatric hearing loss
Abstract The purpose of the current study was to assess parent perceptions and experiences of genetic testing, as well as barriers for not undergoing testing in a sample of families of children with hearing loss. A 44‐item questionnaire, The Parent Perception of Genetic Testing Questionnaire developed by the research study team was administered ...

Global distribution and diversity of marine euendolithic cyanobacteria
Euendolithic, or true‐boring, cyanobacteria actively erode carbonate‐containing substrata in a wide range of environments and pose significant risks to calcareous marine fauna. Their boring activities cause structural damage and increase susceptibility to disease and are projected to only intensify with global climate change. Most research has, however,

Being all ears: A systemic perspective of the role of the psychologist in cochlear implantation
For those hearing-impaired individuals who do not derive any benefit from hearing amplification, cochlear implantation sometimes provides a useful alternative.

DeepSpeech models show Human-like Performance and Processing of Cochlear Implant Inputs [PDF]
Cochlear implants(CIs) are arguably the most successful neural implant, having restored hearing to over one million people worldwide. While CI research has focused on modeling the cochlear activations in response to low-level acoustic features, we hypothesize that the success of these implants is due in large part to the role of the upstream network in

Convolutional Neural Network-based Speech Enhancement for Cochlear Implant Recipients [PDF]
Attempts to develop speech enhancement algorithms with improved speech intelligibility for cochlear implant (CI) users have met with limited success. To improve speech enhancement methods for CI users, we propose to perform speech enhancement in a cochlear filter-bank feature space, a feature-set specifically designed for CI users based on CI auditory ...

Long‐Term Auditory and Speech Outcomes of Cochlear Implantation in Children with IP‐I Malformation
This study aimed to investigate the long‐term auditory and speech outcomes in children with Incomplete Partition Type I (IP‐I) who underwent cochlear implantation (CI) and compared their progress to implanted children with normal cochlea. In this long term follow‐up, children with IP‐Ι had shown continuous improvement in auditory and speech ...

Quantifying Cochlear Implant Users' Ability for Speaker Identification using CI Auditory Stimuli [PDF]
Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that uses underlying speech information to determine the identity of the speaker. Speaker Identification (SID) under noisy conditions is one of the challenging topics in the field of speech processing, specifically when it comes to individuals with cochlear implants (CI).
