    • The Board of Directors have chosen three organizations for research funding for 2011-2012





    Advance National & Local recognition

    • Advance National & Local recognition

    • Provide a positive image for RAM

    • Supports more research in CAPD disorders

    • Provides greatest “Bang per Buck”

    • The grants will be reviewed annually to assure that the goals and objectives are being met





    Also known as:

    • Also known as:

    • Auditory processing disorder (APD)

    • Auditory perceptual problems

    • Central hearing loss

    • Higher auditory dysfunction



    A type of hearing problem

    • A type of hearing problem

    • Difficult to diagnose

    • Relatively common

    • Often confused with other kinds of hearing, language, and attention problems



















    • Deafness Research Foundation (DRF)'s mission is to attain a lifetime of healthy hearing and balance through quality research, education, and advocacy. Since its establishment in 1958, DRF has awarded over 2,000 research grants in hearing and balance science, totaling over $26.5 million.

    • DRF relies on donations to execute its mission.



    In 2012, DRF is funding six scientists investigating CAPD as part of its Emerging Researchers grants program. Because the causes of CAPD are unknown, each scientist has a different research focus.

    • In 2012, DRF is funding six scientists investigating CAPD as part of its Emerging Researchers grants program. Because the causes of CAPD are unknown, each scientist has a different research focus.

    Edward L. Bartlett, Ph.D.

    • Edward L. Bartlett, Ph.D.

    • Purdue University

    •  

    • Research Goal: Some hearing loss is attributed to peripheral hearing loss due to cochlear degeneration,

    • but other aspects of hearing loss, particularly the loss of temporal processing abilities, are clearly due to

    • changes in processing in the central auditory pathway. These changes cannot be compensated for by

    • hearing aids which simply “turn the volume up." This project aims at better understanding these central

    • auditory pathway processing deficits. The ages of the test subjects may reveal clues to treatments for

    • auditory processing disorders in patients across the age spectrum.

    • Brenton G. Cooper, Ph.D.

    • Texas Christian University

    • Research Goal: To further the understanding of how different sides of the brain are specialized for processing different frequencies of sounds. Auditory processing of speech and language is lateralized to the left hemisphere of the human brain. The long-term goals of this research program are testing and refining treatments for hearing loss and lateralized frequency processing deficits in humans, including central auditory processing disorder.



    Elizabeth Dinces, M.D., M.S.

    • Elizabeth Dinces, M.D., M.S.

    • Albert Einstein College of Medicine

    • Research Goal: To understand the perceptual difficulties of individuals with auditory processing disorders (APD) and how automatic processes interact with attentional factors that mediate perception of complex sound scenes in individuals having difficulty in noisy environments, which will provide a foundation for developing better targeted strategies for rehabilitation of people with CAPD.

    • Kirill Vadimovich Nourski, M.D., Ph.D.

    • University of Iowa

    •  

    • Research Goal: To gain better understanding of how the human auditory cortex processes perceptually important temporal features of speech sounds. Deficits in temporal processing within the central auditory system constitute one of the aspects of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) (American Speech- Language-Hearing Association, 2005). Knowledge of how the human brain normally processes spoken language is key to successful intervention of CAPD (Medwetsky et al., 2009).



    • Erin Purcell, Ph.D.

    • University of Michigan

    • Research Goal: To manipulate physical and chemical signals to attract nerve cells to the auditory brainstem.   The long term goals are to regenerate auditory nerves and understand the conditions that promote neural connections with the auditory brainstem.  Achieving these goals may ultimately restore hearing for patients with neural hearing loss and lay a foundation for therapies for individuals with auditory processing disorders.

    • Zhengqing Hu, M.D., Ph.D. 

    • Wayne State University

    • Research Goal: To develop effective strategies to regenerate auditory pathways using stem cell-based approaches, with the hope of restoring hearing. The peripheral auditory system is usually damaged in patients with CAPD. Therefore, in order to rebuild the central auditory processing system, the function of peripheral auditory system must be restored. The following step is to explore whether stem cell-derived cells can be used to regenerate auditory cells that are damaged in CAPD. Note: Dr. Hu does not use human embryonic stem cells in any of his research.
