Summary

This trial is studying how well cochlear implants work and if they improve sound perception. They will compare information from people with and without cochlear implants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adults with cochlear implants implanted before age 2, those who have some hearing left with aids, or normal hearing. It's open to ages 7-35 if pre-lingually implanted and 18+ for post-lingual implantation or normal hearing. Post-lingually implanted children cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests how different sound coding strategies in cochlear implants affect auditory performance. Participants will try electric-only spectral resolution methods and single-electrode pulse trains to see which improves sound perception.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive auditory testing rather than medication or surgery, there are minimal side effects expected. Some participants might experience fatigue or discomfort from wearing the testing equipment.
