NCT ID NCT07114744

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study follows adults who have recently received a cochlear implant to track how their ability to distinguish sounds and understand speech changes over time. Participants complete at-home sound tests frequently during the first three months, then return for lab tests up to one year after activation. The goal is to understand the pattern of improvement and what factors influence it.
