Researchers at UConn are currently conducting studies with children that have received cochlear implants. With the increases in screening and technologies,  interventions such as these implants can help prevent longer term deficits in language and cognitive abilities.

Professor Laura Mauldin published her first book entitled, “Made To Hear”.

The book is based on an ethnography of a cochlear implant (CI) clinic and examines the use of CIs in deaf children, the role of neuroscience in the culture of intervention around deafness, and how mothers are expected to adopt CIs for their deaf child. Published by the University of Minnesota Press (2016).
