Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of preserving low-frequency acoustic hearing in adults with a moderate degree of hearing loss in the low frequencies and severe-to-profound hearing loss in the mid-to-high frequencies who are implanted with the HiRes™ 90K Advantage implant with HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* No previous cochlear implant experience
* 18 years of age or older
* Up to a moderate sensorineural hearing loss in the low-to-mid frequencies (pure tone average ≤ 65 dB HL for 125, 250, 500, and 1000 Hz) and a severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss in the high frequencies (pure tone average ≥ 70 dB HL for 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 Hz) in the ear to be implanted
* Aided monosyllabic word score of 10-50% in the ear to be implanted
* Up to a moderate sensorineural hearing loss in the low-to-mid frequencies (pure tone average ≤ 65 dB HL for 125, 250, 500, and 1000 Hz) and a severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss in the high frequencies (pure tone average ≥ 70 dB HL for 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 Hz) in the contralateral (non-implanted) ear
* English language proficiency
* Willingness to participate in all scheduled procedures outlined in the protocol

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous inner ear surgery
* Cochlear malformation or obstruction that would preclude full insertion of electrode array
* Presence of additional disabilities that would prevent or interfere with participation in the required study procedures
* Medical or psychological conditions that contraindicate surgery or impact the ability to manage an implanted device or the study-related procedures
* Evidence of central auditory lesion or compromised auditory nerve
