Our project aims at better understanding the link between visuo-motor plasticity (by using a short exposure to glasses shifting the visual field) and auditory perception to propose an innovative therapeutic method to reduce hearing loss. There are many evidences showing the therapeutic effects of prism adaptation on lateralized impairments, while our recent innovative result shows the effect of prism adaptation on auditory perception in healthy individuals (Michel et al., 2019; Bonnet et al., submitted). Our project has two main objectives: 1) from a fundamental point of view, we will deepen our understanding of the effects of prism adaptation on auditory processes in healthy participants, and 2) from a clinical point of view, we will investigate the therapeutic effects of a short exposure to prisms on hearing deficits of tinnitus and presbycusis.
