Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Cochlear Implant Users

Participants will complete up to 4 experiments evaluating the use of the Speech Enhancement using Dynamic thresholding Approach (SEDA) algorithm. Each testing session will take between 4-6 hours to complete. Testing sessions will continue until the completion of the experiments.

Interventions

SEDA

Speech Enhancement using Dynamic thresholding Approach (SEDA) is a software algorithm that removes background noise.

Primary outcome measure

  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Noisy Conditions with SEDA NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Noisy Conditions without NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Quiet Conditions with SEDA NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Quiet Conditions without NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.1) ]
  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Rating of SEDA NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 1.2) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Noisy Conditions with Clinical NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 2) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized in Quiet Conditions with Clinical NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 2) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized with no SEDA NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 4) ]
  • Percent of Words Correctly Recognized with Standard SEDA NR [ Time Frame: Up to Year 2 (Completion of Experiment 4) ]
