“…Traditionally, AT is provided in a face-to-face setting; however, there are some reports of computerized AT (CAT) programs for adult CI recipients, but not all are based on serious gaming [ 1 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. AT programs can now be followed remotely, via computer or mobile applications [ 19 , 20 ]. The objective of AT is to stimulate the plasticity of rehabilitation, and research has shown that neurophysiological changes can occur after the placement of CI [ 21 ].…”

Listening in noise remains challenging for adults with cochlear implants (CI) even after prolonged experience. Personalized auditory training (AT) programs can be proposed to improve specific auditory skills in adults with CI. The objective of this study was to assess serious gaming as a rehabilitation tool to improve speech-in-noise intelligibility in adult CI users. Thirty subjects with bilateral profound hearing loss and at least 9 months of CI experience were randomized to participate in a 5-week serious game-based AT program (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). All participants were tested at enrolment and at 5 weeks using the sentence recognition-in-noise matrix test to measure the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) allowing 70% of speech-in-noise understanding (70% speech reception threshold, SRT70). Thirteen subjects completed the AT program and nine of them were re-tested 5 weeks later. The mean SRT70 improved from 15.5 dB to 11.5 dB SNR after 5 weeks of AT (p < 0.001). No significant change in SRT70 was observed in the control group. In the study group, the magnitude of SRT70 improvement was not correlated to the total number of AT hours. A large inter-patient variability was observed for speech-in-noise intelligibility measured once the AT program was completed and at re-test. The results suggest that serious game-based AT may improve speech-in-noise intelligibility in adult CI users. Potential sources of inter-patient variability are discussed. Serious gaming may be considered as a complementary training approach for improving CI outcomes in adults.
