Speech perception
Three months and 1 year after cochlear implantation, a conventional speech perception test with/without noise test will be performed with CVC words from the “Nederlandse Vereniging voor Audiologie” (NVA) word-list. Each list contains 11 words with a total of 33 phonemes. This is according to regular care. The speech tests can be quantified with a simple correct percentage score in bimodal solution if the patient has a hearing aid in the contralateral ear.
