Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in speech recognition score and sound detection/identification score in the virtual classroom setting between Autosense on and off. Self/parent-rated difference in auditory performance between the two CI settings that are tested during the take-home period (Autosense on and off). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in speech recognition score and sound detection/identification score in the virtual classroom setting between Autosense off and remote microphone condition. Head movements and response times are logged, because they are known secondary measures of listening effort/attention. | — |
