Assessment of Bimodal Contribution in Adult Cochlear Implant Users

Speech perception test results and self-rating questionnaire scores will be analyzed by means of non-parametric statistical tests. The statistical tests will be chosen in accordance with the number and type of variables in each test. Correlation between audiological variables (aided and unaided hearing thresholds in the non implanted ear, aided speech perception abilities in the HA-alone condition) and the bilateral-bimodal benefit will be examined. Moreover, possible relationship between self-rating questionnaire scores and speech perception test results will be assessed.
