Intervention

Device:
• the Mobile Research App
The MRA speech testing module delivers speech material via streaming to the single implanted ears of cochlear implant recipients. The recipient listens to the speech material and responds with what was heard via the keypad on the app. Speech is streamed via Bluetooth from the iOS device to the sound processor of the CI-recipient. Speech material used will be determined by the country/local language and the sub-investigation. For example, sub-investigation A, will use CNC monosyllabic words in English, in clinics only. For example, sub-investigation B, will use CVC monosyllabic words in Dutch, in-clinic and in a home environment.

Other:
• SOC/validated delivery of the speech perception test material
Speech material used will be determined by the country/local language and the sub-investigation.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To determine if test-retest reliability	To determine if test-retest reliability with a correlation greater than or equal to 0.8 can be achieved for speech perception ability measured on the MRA outside the sound booth, percent correct performance for the test and rest runs of the speech perception ability will be compared.; Scoring: Percentage correct; Range: 0-100%, higher scores equal better performance	1 day - immediately post screening.
