The Cochlear Implant Research Laboratory at Boys Town National Research Hospital is committed to improving the outcomes of patients with cochlear implants.
There are currently two lines of research in the laboratory. The goal of the first research project is to determine whether certain objective measures can be used to predict perceptual measures with the cochlear implant. In the future, we hope this research can be used to better program cochlear implant speech processors for children and adults.
The second line of research is investigating ways to expand cochlear implant service delivery through telepractice, which uses the internet and videoconferencing technology to connect a patient and health care provider. If validated, telepractice for cochlear implants could expand access to specialized care for individuals who do not have easy access to clinical services.
