Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Mobile Research App (MRA)
Other interventions - SOC/validated delivery of the speech perception test material

Experimental: Delivery of speech perception materials in-clinic using the Mobile Research App (MRA) - Cochlear implant recipients will participate in this arm (sub-investigation AI5841A).

Experimental: Delivery of speech perception materials in-clinic and at home using the Mobile Research App (MRA) - Cochlear implant and hearing aid recipients will participate in this arm (sub-investigation AI5841B).


Treatment: Devices: Mobile Research App (MRA)
The MRA (research tool) is a platform used for the delivery of speech perception material in-clinic outside the sound booth or in the home of the hearing-impaired recipients. 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 app. Speech is streamed via Bluetooth from the iOS device to the sound processor of the CI-recipient.

Other interventions: SOC/validated delivery of the speech perception test material
This involves the delivery of speech perception test material in the sound booth in a clinic.
