Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Unilateral CI User

- CI user since at least half a year

- On the ear contralateral to the CI:
either wearing:
Hearing aid (hearing threshold better than 100 dB HL at 1 khz and better than 80 dB HL at 500 Hz)
or normal hearing (hearing threshold better than 30 dB HL between 250 Hz to 4 kHz).

Exclusion criteria: - Speech intelligibility using Cochlea implantat in quiet is poorer than 50%-correct at 65 dB SPL measured with German sentence test "Oldenburger Satztest".

- Subject younger than 18 years

- Subject has less than 6 months experience with their cochlea implantat.

- Subject has no residual hearing at the ear contralateral to the cochlea implantat.


Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 90 Years
Gender: All
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Hearing loss, unspecified

H91.9
H91.9
Intervention(s)
Group 1: Cochlear implant users, using hearing aid on the other ear side: assesment of speech intelligibility in different spatially arranged noise situations
Group 2: Unilateral cochlear implant users, normal hearing on the other side: assesment of speech intelligibility in different spatially arranged noise situations
Primary Outcome(s)
Assesment of speech intelligibility using a german sentence test (Oldenburger matrix test) of bimodal CI-Users in different spatial environments and signal-to-noise-ratios.

Assesment of spatial realease from masking (SRM = Benefit obtained by spatially separating speech and noise) and bimodal benefit.
(Difference in speech intelligibility for co-located and spatially separated conditions is calculated to obtain the SRM). Bimodal benefit is calculated by comparing speech intelligibility using CI alone with using CI and hearing aid.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Assesment of speech intelligibility of bimodal CI-users using different speech processing strategies.
