What is it about?
This research aims to study the impact of dead regions of the cochlea on speech processing at the brainstem level after a long period of hearing aid use.

Why is it important?
Understanding the brainstem’s ability to encode temporal and spectral cues improves the selection of proper hearing aid algorithms.
Perspectives
Aided speech evoked auditory brainstem response recording can improve hearing aid fitting and verification, especially in subjects that are difficult to test such as infants and very young children. Thus, aided speech evoked auditory brainstem response recording was suggested to be evaluated in this population using speech stimuli with different spectral maxima (low, middle, and high).
