A Study of Speech Perception for Children with Cochlear Implants

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether speech recognition in noise can be improved by the addition of a special listening program to the sound processor. Thus we propose to assess speech perception in noise for pediatric cochlear implant patients using both their everyday listening program as well an autosensitivity program.
