Auditory- and Visual-Speech Evoked Activation of the Superior Temporal Gyrus Contralateral to the Cochlear Implant Predicts Speech Recognition Outcomes.
OBJECTIVES Speech recognition outcomes vary widely in cochlear implant recipients, but the reasons for this variability are not well explained by patient history factors alone. Neuroplastic reorganization after both deafness and cochlear implant switch-on can affect how new recipients adapt to electrical hearing. In th...
