Voice Guard Processing Evaluation in a Cohort of Subjects Implanted With the Neuro Cochlear Implant System

Summary

The study aims to compare two different cochlear implant sound processing strategies. All the participants will start off with a sound processing strategy called the XDP (extended performance). At the 3 month stage, half of the participants would randomly be selected and offered a sound processing strategy called the Voice Guard. Following that, the sound processing strategies will be altered and evaluated every 3 months at the 6th, 9th and 12th month of cochlear implant use.
