About this trial

In this study, a noise reduction algorithm will be implemented in various listening situations to evaluate its effectiveness in improving speech understanding for cochlear implant users ages 12 and older.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

At least 12 years of age.

Be post-lingually deafened cochlear implant recipients with at least 6 months experience regardless of manufacturer.

The PI must also deem the child to be developmentally able to complete the experiments.

Disqualifiers

None

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Noisy Conditions with SEDA NR

Participants will listen to sentences and repeat all the words they heard. This outcome measures the percent of words correctly recognized in noisy listening conditions while using the SEDA Noise Reduction (NR) algorithm.

Time frame
Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1)
2

Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Noisy Conditions without NR

Participants will listen to sentences and repeat all the words they heard. This outcome measures the percent of words correctly recognized in noisy listening conditions without SEDA NR.

Time frame
Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1)
3

Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Quiet Conditions with SEDA NR

Participants will listen to sentences and repeat all the words they heard. This outcome measures the percent of words correctly recognized in quiet listening conditions while using the SEDA NR.

Time frame
Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1)
4

Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Quiet Conditions without NR

Participants will listen to sentences and repeat all the words they heard. This outcome measures the percent of words correctly recognized in quiet listening conditions with SEDA NR.

Time frame
Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1)
