Trial Outcomes & Findings for Benefits of the HiResolution Bionic Ear System in Adults With Asymmetric Hearing Loss (NCT NCT02811549)
NCT ID: NCT02811549
Last Updated: 2023-08-21
Results Overview
The post-implant CNC word scores were compared to preimplant word scores. The CNC monosyllabic word test is a validated test of open-set word recognition ability. The test was administered in quiet at 60 target 0° azimuth) and scored as total number of words correct which is expressed for results/reporting as percentage correct. The CNC word test was the primary speech perception metric used for study inclusion determination and postoperative outcome comparison at defined intervals for this feasibility study. A higher percentage of recognized words represents better hearing of spoken words. The intent is to understand the benefit of the implant treatment option and restoration of auditory input results in improved speech understanding.

Participant Flow
Investigators recruited study subjects from their clinical practices. The first patient first visit occurred on November 7, 2016 and last patient last visit occurred on March 25, 2020. Two study sites enrolled a total of 24 subjects in the study. Of the 24 subjects enrolled 15 were deemed eligible to undergo surgical implantation and 14 completed the study. All enrolled subjects provided informed consent.
Per protocol, a subject is considered enrolled upon giving written informed consent. After undergoing the ICF process, subjects completed audiometric testing and speech perception testing to determine eligibility to undergo surgical implantation. Subjects that did not meet the audiometric threshold hearing or speech testing inclusion criteria were discontinued at baseline.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and Twelve monthsPopulation: The primary outcome measure used in this clinical feasibility study was monosyllabic word recognition with the ear to be implanted in quiet using the CNC word test. Subjects that achieved a CNC word recognition score ≤ 30% in the implanted ear and \>30% in the contralateral ear. Subjects are tested using their everyday listening condition for each ear.
The post-implant CNC word scores were compared to preimplant word scores. The CNC monosyllabic word test is a validated test of open-set word recognition ability. The test was administered in quiet at 60 target 0° azimuth) and scored as total number of words correct which is expressed for results/reporting as percentage correct.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and Twelve monthsPopulation: Speech recognition in noise was measured with the AZBio speech perception test presented in a background of noise in which the target remained at 0° and noise was presented from 0° (speech front).
AzBio speech scores in speech front, noise front twelve months post implantation compared to preimplant bilateral sentence scores. The AzBio speech testing was the primary speech perception metric used for baseline and postoperative outcome comparison at defined intervals for this feasibility study. A higher percentage of recognized words represents better hearing of spoken words.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and Twelve monthsPopulation: Lateralization ability was measured as the ability to identify the location of a sound presented from a loudspeaker placed at +/- 45° in front of the subject. Test is performed using the participant's bilateral, everyday listening condition using both ears and reported for all subjects at baseline compared to month12.
Lateralization is ability to recognize the location of sound origin compared to preimplantation. The subject was asked to identify if the sentence was heard from the right or left loudspeaker. Scoring was based on the number of sentence locations correctly identified and expressed as a percent average. A higher percent average indicates a better ability to identify sound location.
