What is The Benefit of Remote and On-Ear Directional Microphone Technology Persists in the Presence of Visual Information about?

## Background: Both the roger remote microphone and on-ear, adaptive beamforming technologies (e.g., phonak ultrazoom) have been shown to improve speech understanding in noise for cochlear implant (ci) listeners when tested in audio-only (a-only) test environments. ## Purpose: Our aim was to determine if adult and pediatric ci recipients benefited from these technologies in a more common environment-one in which both audio and visual cues were available and when overall performance was high. ## Study sample: Ten adult ci listeners (experiment 1) and seven pediatric ci listeners (experiment 2) were tested. ## Design: Adults were tested in quiet and in two levels of noise (level 1 and level 2) in a-only and audio-visual (av) environments. there were four device conditions: (1) an ear canal-level, omnidirectional microphone (t-mic) in quiet, (2) the t-mic in noise, (3) an adaptive directional mic (ultrazoom) in noise, and (4) a wireless, remote mic (roger pen) in noise. pediatric listeners were tested in quiet and in level 1 noise in a-only and av environments. the test conditions were: (1) a behind-the-ear level omnidirectional mic (processor mic) in quiet, (2) the processor mic in n
