Study Details

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.
