Summary

The main purpose of the study is to estimate speech intelligibility in noise. A Norwegian Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) for children will be implemented, and test results for normal hearing (NH) children and adults will be collected. Test results for groups of hearing aid (HA) users and test results for cochlea implant (CI) users will be collected and compared to the NH group and between groups of HA users and CI users. A group of single sided hearing loss patients will also be included. Binaural benefits of two ears, two HAs and two CIs will be estimated.
