ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring ways to enhance the experience of music and speech for people who use cochlear implants, which are devices that help those with hearing loss. Currently, many cochlear implants do not capture certain details of sound that are important for understanding music and conversation. The study aims to provide this missing information to users in a clear way and see how it affects their ability to perceive sounds.
To participate in the trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and already using a cochlear implant. The study is currently looking for participants of all genders, and those aged 65 to 74 are particularly encouraged to join. If you take part, you can expect to be involved in assessments that will help researchers understand how providing this additional sound information can improve your hearing experience. This research could lead to better cochlear implant technology and ultimately enhance the quality of life for many users.
