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 who have a hearing implant in one or both ears. It also includes hearing care clinicians who will test new software used to adjust these implants.

Age
18 years or older.
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Implant users must have a hearing implant in one or both ears. Clinicians need a higher-education qualification in hearing care and at least 2 months' experience with people with hearing loss.
Earlier treatment
Implant users must already have a hearing implant.

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Auditory implant fitting software is used by hearing healthcare professionals to adjust and optimize hearing implant systems for people with hearing loss. While these software tools are carefully tested before they are released, some challenges may only become apparent when they are used in everyday clinical practice. This research study will assess how well different fitting software technologies work in real-world clinical settings. Information will be collected to better understand how clinicians use the software, identify any usability issues, and find ways to improve the user experience and software design.

The group in the trial

  • Investigational Fitting Software and App (Sub A)Treatment being tested

    Investigational Fitting Software and App to be used with a commercially approved sound processor

    Treatment: Investigational Software
