We review evidence for cross-modal cortical re-organization in clinical populations with
hearing loss. Cross-modal plasticity refers to the ability for an intact sensory modality (eg …

We review evidence for a high degree of neuroplasticity of the central auditory pathways in
early childhood, citing evidence of studies of the P1 and N1 cortical auditory evoked …

Hearing loss is associated with difficulties in understanding speech, especially under
adverse listening conditions. In these situations, seeing the speaker improves speech …

There is clear evidence for cross-modal cortical reorganization in the auditory system of post-
lingually deafened cochlear implant (CI) users. A recent report suggests that moderate …

A cochlear implant (CI) is an auditory prosthesis which can partially restore the auditory
function in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, this bionic device …

Age-related hearing loss is associated with a decrease in hearing abilities for high
frequencies. This increases not only the difficulty to understand speech but also the …

In naturalistic situations, sounds are often perceived in conjunction with matching visual
impressions. For example, we see and hear the neighbor's dog barking in the garden. Still …

There is converging evidence for altered audiovisual integration abilities in hearing-
impaired individuals and those with profound hearing loss who are provided with cochlear …

Cochlear implantation constitutes a successful therapy of inner ear deafness, with the
majority of patients showing good outcomes. There is, however, still some unexplained …

There is substantial variability in speech recognition ability across patients with cochlear
implants (CIs), auditory brainstem implants (ABIs), and auditory midbrain implants (AMIs). To …
