Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	speech recognition after training	Subjects will be measured for their baseline speech recognition performance (A) and then measured again for speech recognition after receiving auditory training using the psychophysical methods (B). Finally, the subjects will be measured for speech recognition the third time after the training is withdrawn following a ABA longitudinal design.	starting 12 months after the award and will take up to 3.5 years to complete
