This application requests funding to support in part the Eighth Symposium on Cochlear Implants in Children, to be held at the Universal City Hilton in Universal City, California, from February 28 to March 3, 2001. This series of conferences, scheduled approximately every two years, brings together scientists, clinicians, educators, and technical specialists involved in the many areas that define pediatric cochlear implantation. The field has now matured such that many children have been using multichannel cochlear implants for over 10 years. Results should be available to describe performance of young implanted children using technologically advanced signal processing strategies. Sponsored by the House Ear Institute and House Ear Clinic, the eighth symposium will focus on emerging research and technology in the following diverse areas: candidacy, surgery, speech perception and production, language and cognitive development, fitting/programming of devices, plasticity, and rehabilitation/education. Special invited speakers will be asked to provide current reviews and new perspectives in such areas as electrophysiology, plasticity, hearing aid fitting, infant speech perception/production, and phonological memory. A faculty of prominent implant researchers has been assembled to present their latest results. A Call-for-Papers format will enable participants to present their findings in oral or poster presentations. Panel discussions will be scheduled as will technical updates. The proceedings of this symposium will be published as a supplement to a scientific/medical journal.

本申请要求提供资金，以部分支持将于2001年2月28日至3月3日在加州环球城的环球城希尔顿酒店举行的第八届儿童植入物研讨会。 这一系列会议大约每两年举行一次，汇集了参与定义小儿人工耳蜗植入的许多领域的科学家，临床医生，教育工作者和技术专家。 该领域现在已经成熟，许多儿童已经使用多通道人工耳蜗植入物超过10年。结果应可用于描述使用技术先进的信号处理策略的年幼植入儿童的性能。第八届研讨会由House Ear Institute和House Ear Clinic赞助，将重点关注以下不同领域的新兴研究和技术：候选人资格，手术，言语感知和生产，语言和认知发展，设备的拟合/编程，可塑性和康复/教育。 特邀演讲者将被要求提供当前的评论和新的观点，如电生理学，可塑性，助听器安装，婴儿语音感知/生产，和语音记忆等领域。 一群杰出的植入物研究人员聚集在一起，展示他们的最新成果。 论文征集格式将使与会者能够以口头或海报形式介绍他们的研究结果。 将安排小组讨论和技术更新。 这次研讨会的会议记录将作为科学/医学杂志的增刊出版。
