David B. Pisoni studies how people perceive and understand speech, with a strong focus on outcomes for adults and children who use cochlear implants (surgically implanted devices that provide a sense of sound to people with hearing loss). His work examines why some implant users understand speech far better than others, connecting hearing to broader cognitive skills like memory, language, and reasoning. He also develops and validates tests for measuring speech recognition and vocabulary knowledge.
