Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if aural rehabilitation adds measurable benefit and participant satisfaction to a cochlear implant recipient's overall treatment. Also, the study is designed to compare the efficacy of a commercially available aural rehabilitation program (LACE) and an electronic program which takes advantage of a traditional form of auditory training (NOOK) for cochlear implant users.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Signal-to-noise ratio
Time Frame: baseline to 6 months
The signal to noise ratio will be measured using the Bamford-Kowal-Bench (BKB) test.
Word recognition
Time Frame: baseline to 6 months
Word recognition will be measured using the Consonant Nucleus Consonant (CNC) Test, a 50 word open set test.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percent of speech comprehension(baseline to 6 months)
