Asymmetric Inter‐Hemisphere Communication Contributes to Speech Acquisition of Toddlers with Cochlear Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study constructs machine‐learning models to resolve developmental relationships among auditory performance, auditory cortical processing, and functional connectivity of the bilateral language network during the first year of restored hearing. The results demonstrate that asymmetric inter‐hemisphere communication contributes significantly to

Neural Plasticity and Hearing‐Speech Development in Children with Auditory Brainstem Implants for Congenital Hearing Loss Due to Severe Inner Ear Malformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Data from a prospective cohort with 112 auditory brainstem implant users are analyzed. Younger age at implantation (<3 years), less severe inner‐ear malformation (common cavity, cochlear aplasia, and hypoplasia), and more intraoperative eABR evoked electrodes (≥60%) are associated with better hearing and speech outcomes.
