We are currently ENROLLING cochlear implant and typical hearing participants in on-going research studies!
How to Participate in On-Going Research with the CILab
Depending on the avaliability of research and active researchers, the CILab offers different types of
participation opportunities. The majority of our listening experiments consist of asking the participant
to repeat back words and/or phrases, similar to the testing performed by audiologists. Other ancillary
experiments consist of listening to various forms of speech, enhanced or modified to improve intelligibility,
or to listen to speech in a free-field, everyday listening conditions with our research platform (CCi-MOBILE).
Review the 'Study Details' for the experiments that are currently enrolling to learn more about what
participation looks like.
Due to COVID-19, the CILab is now offering participation opportunities in virtual, or online modalities
in compliance with the Institutional Review Board (IRB). To learn more about the experiments offered
this summer, such as the overview, compensation, and enrollment, select 'View Study Details.'
NEW! This Spring (2024), the CILab currently has a participation opportunitiy for typical hearing individuals that are primary speaking partners
of cochlear implant participants. Primary speaking partners can include spouses, children, grandchildren,
care takers, coworkers, and other persons involved in daily oral interactions with the CI participant. See
the study details for more information on how to participate!
