    Summary

    This study shows that a wearable speech processor significantly improves speech understanding for cochlear implant patients. Combining the device with lipreading enhances comprehension of connected speech and environmental sounds.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Cochlear implants (C.I.) are vital for profoundly deaf individuals.
    • Assessing the real-world benefit of wearable speech processors is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the audiological performance of a multiple-channel cochlear implant patient using a wearable speech processor.
    • To compare speech recognition with the device alone, lipreading alone, and the device combined with lipreading.

    Main Methods:

    • Standard audiological tests in a sound field.
    • Conditions included: wearable unit activated alone (WA), lipreading alone (LA), and wearable unit with lipreading (WL).
    • Tests involved narrow-band noise detection, closed-set word recognition, and open-set word/sentence recognition (C.I.D. test). Environmental sound recognition was also assessed.

    Main Results:

    • The wearable unit enabled detection of various sounds across frequencies.
    • Significant improvements in word and sentence scores were observed from LA to WL.
    • Open-set sentence recognition improved from 22% (LA) to 76% (WL).
    • Environmental sound recognition scored 30% correct.

    Conclusions:

    • The wearable speech processor significantly enhances speech understanding for cochlear implant users.
    • Combining the device with lipreading leads to satisfactory connected speech comprehension.
    • The device aids in recognizing environmental sounds, improving situational awareness.
