Summary

This trial tests how well a noise reduction algorithm can help cochlear implant users ages 12+ understand speech better in different sound environments.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cochlear implant users who are at least 12 years old and have been using their implant for over six months. Participants must be post-lingually deafened, meaning they lost hearing after acquiring language skills, and considered able to complete the study by the principal investigator.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing a new noise reduction algorithm called SEDA in various listening environments. The goal is to see if it helps people with cochlear implants understand speech better when there's background noise.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a software algorithm rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during testing.
