Cochlear implant usersAuditory trainingThe group will receive auditory training (psychophysical), and will be evaluated for speech recognition to determine the effect of training.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
speech recognition after trainingstarting 12 months after the award and will take up to 3.5 years to complete

Subjects will be measured for their baseline speech recognition performance (A) and then measured again for speech recognition after receiving auditory training using the psychophysical methods (B). Finally, the subjects will be measured for speech recognition the third time after the training is withdrawn following a ABA longitudinal design.
