Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) Proof of improved speech understanding in noise for a distant frontal speaker in SSD-CI children using digital wireless adaptive microphone technology Roger. (2) Proff of improved speech understanding in noise for a near lateral speaker in SSD-CI children using digital wireless adaptive microphone technology Roger. Both primary outcomes are tested with audiometric tests, speech recognition in noise (Oldenburg children's sentence test), with and without Roger digital wireless adaptive microphone technology. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Subjective assessment of the benefits of the application of Roger using the "FM Listening Evaluation for Children" questionnaire (Gabbard, 2003). | — |
