Really excited to share the latest #CASILab publication that is my grad student Mike's first, first-authored publication! 🥳 We show how hearing loss relates to alterations in auditory entrainment, and how these changes are impacted by hearing aid use. Check it out!

Alterations in cortical 40-Hz auditory steady-state response dynamics in children with mild-to-severe hearing loss are related to hearing aid use
Abstract. Children who are hard-of-hearing (CHH) show greater variability in language and academic outcomes than children with normal hearing (CNH) through
