Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how changes in speech perception resulting from a computerized auditory training program are related to concurrent changes in auditory brainstem function resulting from the training. It is hypothesized that the degree of improvement in speech perception will be correlated with the degree of change in brainstem function.
