This study looks at whether people with new cochlear implants can have fewer follow-up appointments and still get good results. Researchers will test a new programming method that may make each visit shorter. About 48 adults who are getting a Cochlear Americas implant will take p…

This observational study looks at how much mental energy children aged 6-18 with cochlear implants use when listening, and whether that extra effort slows their brain development over three years. Researchers will compare 240 children with cochlear implants to 120 children with n…

This study looks at how children and adults with cochlear implants understand and express emotions through speech. Researchers will measure how well participants recognize emotions in voices and how they produce emotional sounds. The goal is to find out why some implant users str…
