Detailed description of study
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: cochlear implant,cochlear implants,loss of hearing,hearing loss,speech processing
-
Age: 18 years - 100 years
-
Gender: All
Inclusion Criteria
Bilateral multichannel cochlear implant user
Native speaker of English
Onset of profound hearing loss after age 3 years
Exclusion Criteria
Non-functioning cochlear implant
Unilateral cochlear implant user
The purpose of this study is to investigate the programming of cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are devices that help people with severe hearing loss by directly stimulating the auditory nerve. This study aims to explore how programming these devices can be improved to enhance hearing outcomes for users.
Participants in this study will undergo various procedures related to cochlear implant programming. This may include adjustments to their device settings to better understand how different programming affects hearing. The study will help gather data on the effectiveness of different programming strategies.
- Who can participate: Adults who have bilateral multichannel cochlear implants and are native English speakers can participate. Participants should have experienced the onset of profound hearing loss after age 3.
- Study details: Participants will engage in activities related to the programming of their cochlear implants. They will receive compensation for their participation.
