Changes in the fitting, verification and validation of radio aids in a cochlear implant service.
The University of Southampton Auditory Implant Service (USAIS), formerly the South of England Cochlear Implant Centre, advocates the use of radio aid systems coupled with cochlear implants. With the UK Children's Radio Aid Working Group, staff from USAIS have supported the development of protocols to ensure that the combined systems provide an appropriate advantage (UKCRAWG, 2018; Whyte, 2019; E.J. Wood and Flynn, 2006; E. J. Wood, Flynn, & Eyles, 2000).
The Radio Aid Working Group has published standards and guidance on amplification systems used with hearing aids and auditory implant sound processors (UKCRAWG, 2017). Previously published peer-reviewed research (Nair, Sousa, & Wannagot, 2017; Schafer, Musgrave, Momin, Sandrock, & Romine, 2013) has used an adaptation of verification guidelines with hearing aids from the American Academy of Audiology.
This study looks at the changes in the provision of radio aids over time and their validation with speech in noise tests.

Abstract
The University of Southampton Auditory Implant Service (USAIS), formerly the South of England Cochlear Implant Centre, advocates the use of radio aid systems coupled with cochlear implants. With the UK Children's Radio Aid Working Group, staff from USAIS have supported the development of protocols to ensure that the combined systems provide an appropriate advantage (UKCRAWG, 2018; Whyte, 2019; E.J. Wood and Flynn, 2006; E. J. Wood, Flynn, & Eyles, 2000).
The Radio Aid Working Group has published standards and guidance on amplification systems used with hearing aids and auditory implant sound processors (UKCRAWG, 2017). Previously published peer-reviewed research (Nair, Sousa, & Wannagot, 2017; Schafer, Musgrave, Momin, Sandrock, & Romine, 2013) has used an adaptation of verification guidelines with hearing aids from the American Academy of Audiology.
This study looks at the changes in the provision of radio aids over time and their validation with speech in noise tests.
