简要总结
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
LACE ( Listening And Communication Enhancement )
use the commercially available auditory training program which is administered by computer as daily lessons.
干预措施: LACE (Behavioral)
NOOK (Electronic reader)
will use an electronic reader (NOOK device) to do speech tracking
干预措施: NOOK (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Word recognition
时间窗: baseline to 6 months
Word recognition will be measured using the Consonant Nucleus Consonant (CNC) Test, a 50 word open set test.
Signal-to-noise ratio
时间窗: baseline to 6 months
The signal to noise ratio will be measured using the Bamford-Kowal-Bench (BKB) test.
次要结局
- Percent of speech comprehension(baseline to 6 months)
