Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if aural rehabilitation adds measurable benefit and participant satisfaction to a cochlear implant recipient's overall treatment. Also, the study is designed to compare the efficacy of a commercially available aural rehabilitation program (LACE) and an electronic program which takes advantage of a traditional form of auditory training (NOOK) for cochlear implant users.

Conditions

  • Cochlear Implant

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

LACE

commercially available LACE program which is administered by computer as daily lessons. The participants will do this program for one month

BEHAVIORAL

NOOK

will use an electronic reader (Barnes and Noble - NOOK device) to do speech tracking.will do this activity for approximately one hour per day for five days out of seven for a total of four weeks. The speech tracking activity will involve reading approximately two books within the one month time frame. The participants will listen to the book while reading an unabridged book in printed form.
