Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation of the Cochlear Nucleus CI532 Cochlear Implant in Adults (NCT NCT03007472)

NCT ID: NCT03007472

Last Updated: 2020-12-30

Results Overview

Group mean Consonant Nucleus Consonant (CNC) word recognition in quiet measured pre-operatively and again at 6 month post sound processor activation compared to the group mean score in the preoperative, best unilateral condition. The CNC word test has a score range of 0-100% with higher values indicating better scores.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preoperatively and 6 months post sound processor activation

Group mean AzBio sentence in noise score in the best unilateral condition compared to the group mean score in the preoperative, unilateral aided condition. The AzBio sentence test has a score range of 0-100% with higher values indicating better scores.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preoperatively and 6 months post sound processor activaton

Group mean HUI3 score post sound processor activation compared to the scores measured preoperatively. The HUI3 consists of eight attributes of general health (vision, hearing, speech, mobility, dexterity, emotion, cognition, and pain) with five or six levels per attribute. For each respondent, health status is described as a vector that combines the levels of each attribute. This information is then converted into a utility score of HRQL on a scale from perfect health (1.0) to death (0).

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 12 months post-activation

Frequency-specific thresholds at standard audiometric frequencies for each ear, and speech recognition in quiet (CNC words) or noise (AzBio sentences) in best unilateral and/or electric alone.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Following 12-month study visit but prior to 36-month interval.

Two optional study visits to evaluate whether a change in cochlear implant programming, specifically an increase in the number of channels will improve subject speech perception in quiet and noise.
