Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with a HiResolution Bionic Ear cochlear implant. It tests whether programming the implant remotely works as well as programming it in the clinic.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
All sexes can join
Disease stage
Hearing loss treated with a HiRes 90K, HiRes 90K Advantage, HiRes Ultra or HiRes Ultra 3D implant on at least one side. People can join with an implant on one side only (no hearing device on the other side, except a CROS device), implants on both sides, or an implant plus a hearing aid on the other side.
Earlier treatment
At least six months of cochlear implant use. At least one month of use of a Naída CI M or Sky CI M sound processor.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Signs that the implant may not be working properly
  • Expectations about the device that the investigator judges unrealistic
  • Not willing or not able to follow all study requirements
  • Not fluent in French
  • Not a smartphone user or cannot do a speech test in noise

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This is a prospective and monocentric clinical investigation, non-interventional and non-randomized. The overall goal of this clinical study is to generate additional clinical data confirming the safety and efficacy of the remote programming functionality of Target CI version 1.5 and the AB Remote Support app. Hearing outcomes are expected to be similar whether a study subject's sound processor is programmed in the traditional method in the audiologist's office or whether programming is performed via remote fitting. Therefore, the study uses a non-inferiority design to determine whether sentence recognition in noise is no worse with remote fitting than in an in-office setting.

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
