Researchers are conducting a prospective, multi-country study to evaluate the use of a Mobile Research App MRA in measuring speech perception in adults who use cochlear implants. This investigation aims to validate digital speech perception endpoints by comparing app-based assessments with traditional clinical methods in this population with hearing loss. Participants will use the Mobile Research App to complete speech perception tests either in-clinic or at home. The app streams speech material via Bluetooth to the cochlear implant sound processor, allowing recipients to listen and respond through the app. The study includes two groups one with cochlear implant recipients only, and another with recipients of both cochlear implants and hearing aids. The app-based testing is compared with standard clinical delivery of speech perception tests conducted in a sound booth. During the study, participants will complete speech perception tests immediately after screening and then repeat testing to assess consistency. Researchers will measure the percent correct performance on these tests. The study does not involve randomization or blinding. Participants ability to use the app and their speech perception responses are monitored to validate this digital assessment method. The studys duration and follow-up details are not specified.
