Study sample: 28 participants, postlingually deafened adult CI users, median age 75 years.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Total MMSE scores correlated significantly with sentence recognition in noise (r = 0.621, P = .004), although no correlation was identified in quiet. Furthermore, the SCWT incongruent condition correlated significantly with CI users' speech recognition in noise (r = -0.644, P = .007).</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Global cognition (as assessed using the MMSE), and inhibition-concentration (as assessed using the SCWT), seem to be important factors in influencing CI recipients' speech intelligibility in noise. This pilot study recommends a larger-scale study; given the global popularity of the MMSE and SCWT as quick cognitive screening tests, they may be useful in CI clinics when speech perception outcomes are unexpectedly poor for older adults and when questions of cognition arise.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These standardized cognitive measures may prove helpful in counseling patients and families when coming to terms with CI outcomes and optimizing multidisciplinary rehabilitation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":53553,"journal":{"name":"COCHLEAR IMPLANTS INTERNATIONAL","volume":" ","pages":"126-135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146195725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
