Deficits in speech recognition and sound localization ability persist despite clinically satisfactory audiometric thresholds. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of acoustic environment complexity on speech recognition and sound localization ability in CI users compared to normal-hearing (NH) individuals and to assess subjective auditory performance using validated questionnaires. Methods: Thirty-four unilateral CI users and fifty NH participants were evaluated in a sound environment audiometric room equipped with an eight-speaker 360\u00b0 array. The variables examined were pure-tone average (PTA), word recognition score (WRS) in quiet and noise (sea, traffic, cafeteria), sound localization ability, and the SSQ-12 auditory quality questionnaire. Correlation, regression, and MANOVA analyses examined associations among objective and subjective outcomes. Results: CI users exhibited significantly lower WRS in quiet and noise conditions, reduced sound localization, and decreased SSQ-12 scores compared to NH participants, with performance declining as noise complexity increased. Pre-implant PTA was the strongest predictor of post-implant speech recognition. No significant differences were observed between unilateral CI users and those with bimodal fittings. The SSQ-12 questionnaire correlated with objective measures, supporting its clinical relevance. Conclusions: CI users exhibit persistent deficits in ecologically valid listening conditions not demonstrated by standard audiometry. Integrating sound field testing and validated hearing quality questionnaires may provide a more comprehensive assessment to guide personalized rehabilitation and device programming.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14238430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T11:19:51Z","timestamp":1764328791000},"page":"8430","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From Clinic to Reality: Integrating Sound Field Testing and Hearing Quality Measures in Cochlear Implant Users"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2522-652X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"\u00c1lvarez-Cendrero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, De La Merced University Hospital, 41640 Osuna, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3934-4854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Lazo-Maestre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5897-7821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seraf\u00edn","family":"S\u00e1nchez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9336-2411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda A.","family":"Callej\u00f3n-Leblic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"317","DOI":"10.1159\/000512759","article-title":"Realistic Environment Audiometric Booth: Development and Clinical Validation","volume":"26","author":"Vigliano","year":"2021","journal-title":"Audiol.
