FUNCTIONAL AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE AUDITORY SYSTEM FOLLOWING CONGENITAL AND EARLY-ONSET DEAFNESS: IMPLICATIONS FOR HEARING RESTORATION

FUNCTIONAL AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE AUDITORY SYSTEM FOLLOWING CONGENITAL AND EARLY-ONSET DEAFNESS: IMPLICATIONS FOR HEARING RESTORATION

The absence of auditory input, particularly during development, causes widespread changes in the structure and function of the auditory system, extending from peripheral structures into auditory cortex. In humans, the consequences of these changes are far-reaching and often include detriments to la...
