    "abstract": "To investigate the effects of automatic scene classification (SCAN) on speech perception in noise and real-world functional performance in children using cochlear implants (CIs).\nWe used a within-subjects repeated measures design in two studies. The first study assessed speech perception in noise with or without SCAN enabled in 25 school-aged children. The second study evaluated functional auditory performance in real life. Parents of 18 children provided ratings using the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/oral Performance of Children (PEACH) questionnaire; and children provided ratings using the Self Evaluation of Listening Function (SELF) questionnaire. Analyses of variance with repeated measures were used to examine the effect of SCAN.\nOn average, speech perception in noise was significantly better with SCAN enabled (mean SRT: -4.1 dB; SD: 4.0), compared to SCAN disabled (mean SRT: 0.5 dB; SD: 3.5). Children's functional performance in real life was similar between the two device settings.\nAutomatic auditory scene classification provides significant benefits for speech perception in noise (4.6 dB improvement). On average, there were no perceived detrimental or beneficial effects in real life. These findings support the use of SCAN in CIs for young children.",
