MeasurIng and Restoring Auditory Awareness for Cochlear Implant Listeners in noisE

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Cochlear Hearing Loss
Interventions
Behavioral: Speech in noise comprehension test
Behavioral: Objective tests of perception of ambient sound cues in noise
Behavioral: Subjective tests of perception of ambient sound cues in noise
Registration Number
NCT06420921
Lead Sponsor
Institut Pasteur
Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to describe how people with cochlear implants perceive the perceive speech in noise and their sound environment on adults who are native French speakers with typical hearing or with cochlear implant(s).

The measures and strategies developed in this project could benefit all current and future cochlear implant wearers by improving their perception of the sound environment and their quality of life on a daily basis.

Researchers will compare normal hearing participant and participants with cochlear implant to describe the speech in noise and their perception of the sound environment.

Participants will perform audiological tests to assess their perception of the sound environment, with and without speech enhancement.
