Must not have
Be younger than 18 years of age

Follow Up "post-treatment" where "treatment" is the systematic manipulation of speech sounds. word recognition will be evaluated during the main part of the testing. outcomes will be assessed and data reported through study completion, an average of 1 year
Awards & highlights
Summary
This trial aims to understand how people recognize speech sounds in different contexts. Researchers will study how background noise affects speech perception, especially in people with hearing loss. They will also compare how cochlear implant users
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with varying degrees of hearing loss, including those who use hearing aids or cochlear implants. It aims to understand how they perceive speech in different acoustic contexts and the impact of background noise on their recognition abilities.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how people with healthy and impaired hearing recognize speech sounds within context. It will explore the role of adjacent sounds and examine if modifications to hearing devices can improve perception.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive speech manipulation rather than medication or surgery, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this research.
