Testing low energy audio streaming in new cochlear implant processors
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests new low-energy audio streaming features in two Cochlear sound processors (Nucleus 8 and Kanso 3). It looks at whether experienced cochlear implant users can accept and benefit from this feature in daily listening situations.
