needs. The 2 subjects that slightly disagreed reported
challenges in noisy environments, although one of these
subjects agreed that sound quality was acceptable and
listening was comfortable in noise. These questionnaire
results indicate that the sound processor is acceptable for
use and satisfies users' listening needs.
In the United States, ClearVoice is approved for pediatric
use in children 6 years and above who 1) are able to
