Firstly, it aims to collect data to investigate if the new fitting method gives a good fit of MAP for newly implanted CI-recipients in terms of performance outcomes, compared to the standard streamlined behavioural fitting after 3 months of use. Secondly, it aims to collect data to further refine the new fitting method beyond what is evaluated within this study.
This study aims to collect data in newly implanted cochlear implant-recipients to inform future development of fitting methods to optimally and efficiently program a cochlear implant.
