- Conditions
- Cochlear Implant
- Registration Number
- NCT01737489
- Lead Sponsor
- Mayo Clinic
- 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.
