    Summary

    Hearing aids outperformed cochlear implants in a speech perception test for individuals with profound hearing loss. Individual cochlear implant performance varied widely, necessitating personalized evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Profound postlingual hearing loss significantly impacts auditory perception.
    • Hearing aids and cochlear implants are common assistive listening devices.
    • Understanding speech perception differences between these devices is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate and compare auditory speech perception skills in individuals with profound postlingual hearing loss using hearing aids versus cochlear implants.
    • To assess the variability in performance among cochlear implant users.
    • To determine the utility of incorporating lipreading assessments with amplification.

    Main Methods:

    • A battery of speech perception tests was administered to five subjects with profound postlingual hearing loss.
    • Two subjects used hearing aids, and three subjects used cochlear implants.
    • Lipreading ability with amplification was also assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects using hearing aids demonstrated consistently superior speech perception compared to those using cochlear implants.
    • Significant performance variability was observed among cochlear implant users, with one subject outperforming the other two.
    • Lipreading assessment provided additional valuable data.

    Conclusions:

    • Hearing aids may offer better speech perception outcomes than cochlear implants for some individuals with profound postlingual hearing loss.
    • Cochlear implant efficacy is highly individualized, requiring tailored assessment and device programming.
    • Combined auditory and visual speech perception evaluation is beneficial for this population.
