Summary

This study is looking at how the brain responds to visual images in people with hearing loss. Researchers will use a test called a Visual Evoked Potential to measure brain waves, focusing on a specific signal called the P300. They will compare these results with standard hearing tests and thinking tests to see if this visual brain response can help predict how well someone will do with a hearing aid or cochlear implant. The study involves 100 adults and is currently recruiting at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
