Survey Data on Speech Perception and Quality of Life for Cochlear Implant Users

A clinical study from a tertiary academic center collected survey data from 16 adult cochlear implant users with single-sided deafness. The data includes scores from the Columbia Speech Quality Instrument (CSQI), the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life-35 (CIQOL-35) questionnaire, and self-reported ratings on speech enjoyment and understanding. The dataset was published by Nandita V. Vegesna on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between subjective speech quality perception and quality of life based on CSQI and CIQOL-35 scores.
• Investigate the relationship between self-reported speech enjoyment and domain-specific QOL outcomes like communication and social interaction.
• Model patient-reported outcomes in cochlear implant users based on survey data from a clinical cohort.

Strengths

• Data includes validated instruments like the CIQOL-35 questionnaire and CSQI.
• Survey results include self-reported ratings with reported means and standard deviations (e.g., speech enjoyment mean=7.6, SD=2.3).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is small, with only 16 participants, limiting statistical power.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
