Evaluating a Noise Reduction Algorithm With Cochlear Implant Users

Evaluating a Noise Reduction Algorithm With Cochlear Implant Users

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Anyone who is not a cochlear implant user or is aged under 12 years.
