The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a new algorithm can improve speech perception for cochlear implant users. The main questions it aims to answer \[is/are\]: * Does the algorithm improve speech perception in noisy environments? * Does the algorithm allow listeners to determine where a sound is coming from? Participants will * Listen to and repeat sentences presented in the presence of noise * Indicate the location that sounds originated from
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have bilateral cochlear implants from Cochlear or Advanced Bionics Exclusion Criteria: * Non-native English speakers
Sound will be preprocessed with different beamformer algorithms and presented either through the auxiliary input port or via a streaming device to the participants' cochlear implant processor
