This study is to evaluate new approaches to device fitting and diagnostics for cochlear implant users. The evaluation can be performed in the laboratory in an acute session or in real world environments with take-home device use to further validate their benefits. Each feature will be tested in a sub-study specific to that hearing care model. On average, each sub-study is expected to include approximately 20 subjects.
