Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a new algorithm can improve speech perception for cochlear implant users. The main questions it aims to answer \[is/are\]: * Does the algorithm improve speech perception in noisy environments? * Does the algorithm allow listeners to determine where a sound is coming from? Participants will * Listen to and repeat sentences presented in the presence of noise * Indicate the location that sounds originated from

Interventions

Modifying audio input for cochlear implant processor (Device)
Sound will be preprocessed with different beamformer algorithms and presented either through the auxiliary input port or via a streaming device to the participants' cochlear implant processor

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have bilateral cochlear implants from Cochlear or Advanced Bionics Exclusion Criteria: * Non-native English speakers
