Researchers Discuss Speech in Noisy Environments, Spatial Awareness, and Bilateral Cochlear Implants

What information do we receive from the sound around us? Hear thoughts from Matt Goupell (University of Maryland) and Brian Monson (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), who join the podcast to discuss their research, along with findings on speech in noisy environments and spatial awareness.Goupell and Monson are presenting at the 2025 ASHA Research Symposium on Hearing at the ASHA Convention. As part of ASHA Voices’ annual coverage of that symposium, they join the podcast to discuss their presentations and research.First, Monson shares what we can learn from extended high frequencies—those frequencies higher than 8,000 Hz. He shares thoughts on why these quieter frequencies may be the first to go. Then, Goupell tells us what bilateral cochlear implants are doing well, and how he hopes to see them improve in the future.Learn More:Research Symposium on HearingASHA Voices: A Promising Outlook for Gene Therapy and Hearing LossASHA Voices: The Community Link to Hearing Care AccessTranscript
