Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria are bilaterally normal hearing patients (historical control group) or the condition after unilateral/bilateral implantation of a cochlear implant (patients). Furthermore, it is required that patients are 18 years of age or older, since all outcome parameters can usually be measured from 18 years of age.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The criteria for exclusion are the lack of ability to perform speech audiometry and to complete the APHAB, i.e. exclusion in the case of incomplete speech development and insufficient knowledge of German. Additionally, serious co-morbidities that prevent cooperation and perseverance in completing the tests, such as treatment for a cancer or being mentally and physically handicapped, may cause exclusion.
