ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to test a new mobile app that helps measure how well adults with cochlear implants can understand speech. Cochlear implants are devices that can improve hearing for people with significant hearing loss. The goal is to see if this app can accurately assess speech perception, which is how well a person can understand spoken words.

To participate, you need to be an adult aged 18 or older who uses a hearing device, such as a hearing aid or cochlear implant, and you should be fluent in the language used during the study. Participants will be asked to use the app multiple times to provide feedback on their speech understanding. The study is currently recruiting, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, you could contribute to important research that may help improve hearing assessments in the future.
