Audio Input Modification for Cochlear Implant Users
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a new algorithm can improve speech perception for cochlear implant users. The main questions it aims to answer \[is/are\]:
* Does the algorithm improve speech perception in noisy environments?
* Does the algorithm allow listeners to determine where a sound is coming from?
Participants will
* Listen to and repeat sentences presented in the presence of noise
* Indicate the location that sounds originated from
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who use cochlear implants and are interested in potentially improving their ability to understand speech in noisy places without losing the skill to identify where sounds come from.Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Treatment
Participants listen to stimuli processed by different beamformer algorithms and repeat speech presented in noise and identify the location that sound originated from
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment
What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Modifying audio input for cochlear implant processor
Trial Overview
The study tests a new algorithm that modifies audio input for cochlear implant processors. Participants will assess if this change helps them follow conversations better amidst noise and still pinpoint sound origins.
