Study Summary

This trial is testing whether reducing interaural mismatches (differences in loudness and pitch between the ears) through speech processor program modifications will improve speech understanding in noise and localization for people with SSD-CI.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with single-sided deafness (SSD) who have normal hearing in one ear and are either experienced users of a Nucleus cochlear implant or will be newly implanted. They must have had postlingual onset of SSD, meaning they became deaf after having learned to speak.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests modifications to the speech processor program of cochlear implants in individuals with SSD. The goal is to improve binaural cues which help with understanding speech in noisy environments and sound localization by reducing loudness and pitch differences perceived between ears.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive programming adjustments to existing cochlear implants, direct physical side effects are not anticipated. However, changes may affect auditory comfort or perception during the adjustment period.
