These findings are important because they provide valuable insight into the interaction between the learner’s age (developmental period effect) and their linguistic experience (quality and quantity of linguistic input) in early development.
A Scientist Steps Up to Serve
Vijaya Prakash Krishnan Muthaiah, PT, Ph.D., works with members of the military as part of his research. This inspired him to join the U.S. Coast Guard as a reservist. We cannot think of a more meaningful way to show dedication to the service our military provides.
The Gene TMPRSS3 and Me
A teen learns about the genetic cause of her hearing loss, and is spreading the word to find out more.
How Can We Measure Hearing Aid Success in the Youngest Patients?
We found that the use of neural responses to sound to infer how well hearing aids—a common first form of intervention—provide access to speech is similar in children to that found in adults.
Balance Control in People With Hearing or Vestibular Loss in One Ear
Patients with hearing loss in one ear appear to have more conscious control over their response to sensory cues in their environment, resulting in a more deliberate control of balance with less degrees of freedom to respond to changes in the environment, almost like a guarding behavior.
Code Art
Generative art is defined by the use of an autonomous system that can produce imagery with minimal intervention by the artist, after writing the algorithm.
Emerging Research Grants Applications Are Open
The ERG program is a competitive process that awards grants to only the most promising investigators. Recipients are exceptionally well-positioned to win funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other major federal funders, leading to dramatic innovations in the field.

Improving How to Assess Speech Production
During typical conversational interactions, humans use over 100 different muscles in the vocal tract to produce up to six to nine syllables per second, which is one of the fastest types of motor behavior.
