First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brain processes sound in 43 deaf adults who have two cochlear implants. Researchers compared their brain activity to people with normal hearing using PET or EEG scans. The goal was to understand if the timing between activating the two implants affects how the brain handles sound information.
