- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>For five speech tests, including tests in quiet and tests in noise, we will<br /><br>measure recognition thresholds in test and retest. We will evaluate the<br /><br>applicability of the tests for measuring communication abilities in CI users.<br /><br>Reliability of the tests will be estimated from test-retest differences. The<br /><br>validity of the digit-triplet test will be studied from the correlations with<br /><br>well established speech tests.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
