Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI recipients in their first year post-activation.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients with a diagnosis of bilateral moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss who are undergoing unilateral or simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing revision implantation, completion bilateral cochlear implantation, or implantation for unilateral deafness will be excluded from enrollment
  • Patients unable or unwilling to use a computer or similar device will be excluded from enrollment.
  • Patients will be excluded if they speak a language not supported by the Sound Success platform. Sound Success is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Danish.
