I’m so stoked to get started on this project! Science is best done with friends. 🥳Ansley Kunnath, PhD @VBWC_CI_LAB VUHearingSpeechPhD @VanderbiltMST

There's still time to RSVP for this event! We hope to see you there!

Are you or someone you know considering pursuing cochlear implantation at Vanderbilt Health? Join Dr. Moberly and I for a free webinar on 5/15 to discuss why a CI might be right for you and what the process looks like at our center! #cochlearimplant VUMC Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery @VUMCHearSpeech

Just two co-PIs sharing our first of many grants together! Katelyn Berg VU Graduate School Vanderbilt MSTP VUHearingSpeechPhD ⁦Vanderbilt Brain Institute⁩

So proud of my brilliant officemate, ⁦Sharice Clough 🦋 @shariceclough.bsky.social⁩ for taking home 2nd place at the ⁦⁦VUHearingSpeechPhD⁩ poster day for her work on speech gesture integration in people with TBI! 🤩🥳

This study by Ankita Patro, MD, MS Jourdan Holder Elizabeth Perkins & others found single-sided #deafness patients under 5 years old, especially those without a cochlear nerve problem or developmental delay, should be considered for #CI. …-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oh… @VUMCHearSpeech

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨

Must read, new publication by Andie DeFreese! Considering age at implantation, duration of deafness, & daily CI use, only daily processor use was a significant predictor of outcomes in a sample of 614 CI recipients. Consistency of processor use is HUGE! journals.lww.com/otology-neurot…

An excellent Otology&Neurotology review led by Hasan Abdulbaki on the impact of #music rehab on #CI #outcomes. I refer to this review when counseling patients on reasonable and detailed #expectations with musical #ear training after surgery.

Madeleine Campbell did a fantastic job sharing her ongoing project on music spatialization abilities in #cochlearimplant users from her T-35 in the I HEAR Research Lab at #CRASH hosted by Univ. of Minn CATSS!

Excited to have this first publication from our @NIDCD clinical trial out! It was a huge team effort Stephen Camarata Linsey Sunderhaus Jourdan Holder Katelyn Berg Mackenzie Lighterink René Gifford

Daily use & time since activation improve speech recognition in #CochlearImplants. Straight arrays adapt to frequency mismatch while precurved arrays' placement impacts outcomes. #Audiology Katelyn Berg Jourdan Holder Ankita Patro, MD, MS David Haynes Nichole Dwyer jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

A study published recently in JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery found that the ideal placement of electrodes in a cochlear implant differs depending on whether the implant’s purpose is to enhance perception of speech or music.
