fNIRS and demographic data for 3- to 9-month infants with congenital sensorineural hearing loss

Auditory exposure plays a crucial role in shaping brain development, but little is known about whether and how an initial lack of auditory exposure might disrupt the development of functional network lateralization. We addressed this issue by acquiring functional near infrared spectroscopy data from infants aged 3–9 months with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and typically developing controls.
