Study Type: Observational

Official Title: The Effects of Reverberation on Speech Understanding in MED-EL Cochlear Implant Recipients

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate speech understanding in simulated reverberant environments with MED-EL cochlear implant recipients.

Detailed Summary: The study will determine if electrode length and coding strategy effect performance. We will also study performance over time with new recipients.
Sponsor: University of Miami

Current Primary Outcome:

• Electrode length and performance [ Time Frame: Two hours ]
  Percent correct on simulated reverberant speech test as a factor of electrode length
• Coding strategy and performance [ Time Frame: Two hours ]
  Speech scores, in percent correct, recorded from simulated reverberant speech tests will be compared between fine structure and envelope coding strategies.
• Performance over time in reverberant situations [ Time Frame: Six months ]
  Outcomes in reverberant situations will be tested over the course of 6 months

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
