Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bilateral Benefit in Adult Users of the HiRes 90K Bionic Ear System (NCT NCT00205881)

NCT ID: NCT00205881

Last Updated: 2012-03-01

Results Overview

Participants were tested on 50 monosyllabic, phonetically balanced words from the Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) set, prior to implantation and after bilateral implantation. Percent correct scores for the CNC test are reported.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 months of bilateral cochlear implant use

Population: Adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss who received bilateral cochlear implants in the same operation.

Participants were tested on 50 monosyllabic, phonetically balanced words from the Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) set, prior to implantation and after bilateral implantation. Percent correct scores for the CNC test are reported.
