About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

A long-term follow-up of Cochlear's cochlear implant electrode array which passively elutes dexamethasone for a defined period of time to help reduce inflammatory responses.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Experimental: CI632D Investigational Medical Device (IMD)

    Adults with bilateral postlinguistic sensorineural hearing loss, who have received the CI632D cochlear implant

    Treatment: CI632D

  • Active Comparator: CI632 Comparator Device

    Adults with bilateral postlinguistic sensorineural hearing loss, who have received the CI632 cochlear implant

    Treatment: CI632
