Individualized home-based phoneme training for adult cochlear implant users reduces phoneme confusion errors
This individualized, bottom-up phoneme training approach holds promise for enhancing speech perception at the phoneme level in adult CI users. By addressing specific phoneme confusion errors through tailored training materials, home-based individualized rehabilitation may contribute to improved speech understanding and communication outcomes. This app-based, self-paced training method provides adult CI users with greater autonomy and empowerment within their home environments.<b>Trial registration:</b> ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05307952.
