Key Points

To characterize the hemodynamic response to native-language speech in deaf and hard-of-hearing infants.
Conducted analysis of fMRI and fNIRS data.
Focused on response to native-language speech.
Sample included deaf and hard-of-hearing infants.
Detailed characterization of hemodynamic response was achieved.
Improved understanding of auditory processing in deaf infants was noted.

Implication

Research characterizes hemodynamic response to speech in deaf infants, suggesting improved clinical approaches.

Abstract

Our results provide the first detailed characterization of the hemodynamic response to native-language speech in deaf and hard-of-hearing infants, improving clinical and therapeutic approaches through more accurate analysis of fMRI and fNIRS data.
