Trial design. A schematic representation of the sequence and timing of appointments that each participant will complete divided into the three trial phases. In the baseline phase, participants will use no hearing-assistive device and the listening tests will be administered during the two-month delay between baseline questionnaire assessments. After both CROS and cochlear implant fitting, participants will complete a daily diary to track device usage and to capture any comments on the advantages/disadvantages of the devices.
