No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI recipients in their first year post-activation.

Conditions

  • Cochlear Implants
  • Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sound Success

Subjects will be instructed to perform auditory training with the Sound Success computer-based auditory training program. This is a free program that requires a brief account registration. Subjects will be instructed to perform auditory training on a personal device and will be recommended a target usage of at least 30 minutes 5 times per week.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard of Care

Subjects will be provided a list of common exercises for auditory training. This is the current standard of care at our institution.
