NCT ID NCT05599165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to process sound to help people with hearing loss understand speech better, especially tricky consonant sounds. Forty adults who use both a cochlear implant and a hearing aid (bimodal users) listened to consonants processed in different ways. The goal was to see if boosting helpful sound parts or removing confusing ones could improve how well they heard.
