Summary
This study tests whether donepezil, a drug used for memory, can improve speech understanding in adults who already use a cochlear implant. About 50 participants will receive either donepezil or a placebo for 3 months. The goal is to see if the drug helps the brain adapt to the implant and improve hearing and thinking skills.
