Summary

This trial aims to see if a new computer-based auditory training program called Sound Success is better than the current standard patient-directed auditory training in helping new adult cochlear implant recipients improve their speech recognition and quality

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who have recently received a cochlear implant and are in their first year post-activation. They should be looking to improve speech recognition and quality of life with their new implant.
What is being tested?
The study compares Sound Success, a free computer-based auditory training program, with the standard patient-directed auditory training to see which one better improves speech recognition and quality-of-life for new adult cochlear implant users.
