Assessing the Effects of Deafness on Cortical Activity Peaks in the Developing Human Auditory System Measured by an EEG Neuroimaging Method

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) can restore hearing in deaf children, by electrically stimulating the auditory pathways. The effects of long-term deafness have been extensively studied and it is well known that deafness leads to cross-modal reorganization of the brain. However, the short term effects of CI use on the developing auditory...
