Interventions

  • Take home tests — OTHER
    These tests will test the discriminability of sounds that vary systematically along the frequency and temporal dimensions of sound. Over the course of the 3 months post-activation, subjects will self-complete "take-home" tests at location of their choosing. Each test session will include the entire test-battery will be repeated frequency as often as every day and then reducing frequency of testing corresponding to the rate of speech perception improvement.

Study Details

This observational study will examine newly activated cochlear implant users and determine whether their abilities to discern simple sounds change and relate to improved speech perception. Take-home computers and test-equipment will be sent home, and subjects will complete approximately 25 test sessions over the first 3 months of cochlea implant use. Then, subjects will be tested 3 more times in the laboratory until 1 year-post activation. The primary objective is to determine and quantify how sounds change and speech perception improves over the course of early cochlear implant use.

Enrollment
25 participants (estimated)

Arms

  • Arm: Newly Implanted Users
    Participants have no prior experience with cochlear implants (recruitment happens prior to cochlear implantation) will complete at home testing (\~25 sessions) over \~3 months of implant use.
  • Arm: Experienced Cochlear Implant Users
    Participants who have used the same stimulation strategy since initial stimulation will complete at home testing (\~25 sessions) over \~3 months of implant use.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in percentage of correct responses during speech perception tests [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 year ]
