Extraordinary Speech and Language Outcomes After Auditory Brainstem Implantation: Guidance From a Case Study

CONCLUSIONS: Results from a novel battery of information processing tests suggest that ID-006 relies extensively on top-down predictive processing and cognitive control strategies to efficiently encode and process auditory information provided by his ABI. Results suggest that current measures of outcomes and benefits should be expanded beyond conventional speech recognition measures to include more sensitive and robust measures of speech recognition as well as neurocognitive measures such as executive function, working memory, and lexical access.PMID:37931080 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00099
