Only six days left to reach our goal of $10,000. Click here to pledge to help us find a treatment for auditory dysfunction! All pledges will be matched by our very generous donors at the UCR Brain Game Center. This means we only need $3185! Be a part of the future of brain training, and know that 100% of your donations are working toward characterizing, diagnosing and treating auditory dysfunction in combat veterans with traumatic brain injury!

About This Project

Hearing loss is one of the top disabilities facing veterans, with over $1 Billion in disability payments per year. Auditory dysfunction (AD) can lead to isolation and depression due to difficulty in understanding speech. Sadly, veterans are left to cope with AD, which has no accepted treatments. To better serve our veterans, we are developing a novel approach to treat AD, by training the auditory cortex to better process complex sounds.

Blast off!
