Contralateral Routing of Signal Devices Reduce Objective and Subjective Listening Effort in Unilateral Cochlear Implant Recipients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the impact of a contralateral routing of signal (CROS) device on subjective and objective listening effort and speech recognition in unilateral cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Study Design: A single-group, prospective, repeated measures design in 2 technology conditions (with CROS and without CROS), 3 talker locations (0°, 90°, and 270°), and 3 signal-to-noise ratio conditions (quiet, easy, and hard). Setting: Nonprofit audiology and speech language therapy (listening and spoken language) program. Participants: Unilateral adult CI recipients with limited functional hearing in their poorer performing ear or bilateral CI listeners willing to participate with their better hearing or preferred implanted ear for the duration of the testing (N = 15). Intervention: Participants were fitted with a CROS device on their poorer hearing ear. Main Outcome Measures: Objective listening effort measured via verbal response time, subjective listening effort and motivation measured via questionnaires, and speech recognition. Results: The CROS device reduced objective and subjective listening effort and improved speech recognition, particularly when speech was presented to the non-CI ear. Conclusions: The CROS device can reduce subjective and objective listening effort and improve speech recognition and motivation in certain situations.
