Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Performance of a New Implant System for Bone Conduction Hearing (NCT NCT03086135)

NCT ID: NCT03086135

Last Updated: 2021-10-14

Results Overview

The change of hearing performance from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA system at 3 month, measured as free-field hearing test; Threshold audiometry PTA4 (mean of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) is presented. A Pure Tone Average (PTA) refers to the average of hearing threshold levels at a set of specified frequencies: typically 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. This value gives a snapshot of an individual's hearing level. If PTA is \<25 dB, the overall hearing would be considered to be within normal limits. With a PTA of 95 dB, the hearing would be considered in the profound range. The units reported for PTA4 are decibels (dB). The results presented here are the difference of PTA4 unaided and PTA4 aided with the Osia system. An uaided PTA4 values should be higher than a aided PTA4 if the hearing device is effective. A lower or more negative score is more desirable and reflects a better ability to hear softer sounds.

Bone-conduction Hearing Device
The bone-conduction hearing device Osia system allows a direct bone-conduction through an osseointegrated implant. A magnet allows the external Sound Processor to be placed in the correct position over the implanted system including an inner magnet. Osia System: An external Sound Processor captures and digitize the sound which is transferred to the internal implant where it is converted to an electrical signal. The electrical signal is further transferred as a vibration through an osseointegrated implant to the mastoid bone and eventually to the cochlea.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline before surgery, 3 months after surgery

The change of hearing performance from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA System at 3 months measured as free field hearing test Adaptive speech recognition in noise, is presented. Adaptive speech recognition in noise was measured as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The noise was kept constant at 65 dB SPL and the speech was adapted in dB steps to establish the Speech-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) providing a 50% level of understanding. A ratio of 0 reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences at 65 dB, in the presence of 65 dB background noise. A negative SNR-value reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences below 65 dB, for example if 50% of the speech is received correctly at 55 dB the SNR value is -10. A positive SNR-value (Speech to Noise Ratio) reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences presented above 65 dB. A lower or more negative score is more desirable and reflects abetter hearing in a noisy enviroment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline before surgery, 4 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Population: 750, 1500 and 8000 Hz were not included in the eCRF for free-field threshold audiometry test due to an error when the first six subjects entered the study. Measurements at these frequencies were therefore not performed at the first visits. In addition; not all subjects performed the test at all frequencies at all visits.

The change of hearing performance from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA system at 4 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months, measured as free-field hearing test: Threshold audiometry (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 kHz) is presented. This value gives a snapshot of an individual's hearing level. If PTA is \<25 dB, the overall hearing would be considered to be within normal limits. With a PTA of 95 dB, the hearing would be considered in the profound range. The units reported for PTA4 are decibels (dB). The results presented here are the difference of the unaided hearing level expressed in dB and the hearing level aided with the Osia system at different time points. An unaided value should be higher than a aided if the hearing device is effective. A lower or more negative score is therefor more desirable and reflects a better ability to hear at the specified frequency.

The change of hearing performance from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA System at 3 months measured as free field hearing test Adaptive speech recognition in noise, is presented. Adaptive speech recognition in noise was measured as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The noise was kept constant at 65 dB SPL and the speech was adapted in dB steps to establish the Speech-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) providing a 50% level of understanding. A ratio of 0 reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences at 65 dB, in the presence of 65 dB background noise. A negative SNR-value reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences below 65 dB, for example if 50% of the speech is received correctly at 55 dB the SNR value is -10. A positive SNR-value (Speech to Noise Ratio) reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences presented above 65 dB. A lower or more negative score is more desirable and reflects a better hearing in a noisy environment.

The change of Ease of communication, Reverberation, Background noise, Aversiveness and a Global score from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA System at 3 and 12 months is presented. All subscales range from 0-100%, total score is the average of all subscales 0-100%, where 0% indicates no problem and 100% indicates always problem. The difference between the unaided and the aided situation is presented. In an ultimate case the unaided value could be 100 and the aided 0, the result is then 100. A positive value indicates an improvement, a negative value an impairment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline before surgery and 3 and 12 months after surgery

Population: Some of the subjects did not answer all questions in the questionnaire at one or both time-points.

The change of health status and health related quality of life from the unaided hearing situation before surgery to the aided hearing situation with the OSIA System at 3 and 12 months using the generic quality of life scale Health Utilities Index (HUI3) is presented. All subscales (comprehensive health state, vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, emotion, pain, cognition) range from 0-1. A health utility value of 1.00 indicates perfect health while a score of 0.00 indicates death. The difference between the unaided and the aided situation is presented. In an ultimate case the unaided value could be 0 and the aided 1, the result is then 1.0. A positive value indicates an improved quality of life, a negative value indicates impaired quality of life.

The change of hearing performance with the OSIA System at 4 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months compared to the pre-operative aided situation with BP110 on softband;measured with free field hearing test Adaptive speech recognition in noise which was measured as signal to noise ratio (SNR). The noise was kept constant at 65 dB SPL and the speech was adapted in dB steps to establish the speech-to-noise ratio (SNR) providing a 50% level of understanding. A ratio of 0 reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences at 65 dB, in the presence of 65 dB background noise. A negative SNR-value reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences below 65 dB. A positive SNR-value reflects the ability to correctly hear sentences presented above 65 dB. A lower or more negative score is more desirable and represent a better hearing in a noisy environment.

The bone-conduction hearing device Osia system allows a direct bone-conduction through an osseointegrated implant. A magnet allows the external Sound Processor to be placed in the correct position over the implanted system including an inner magnet. Osia System: An external Sound Processor captures and digitize the sound which is transferred to the internal implant where it is converted to an electrical signal. The electrical signal is further transferred as a vibration through an osseointegrated implant to the mastoid bone and eventually to the cochlea.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months

Population: Some of the subjects did not answer the question at all visits.

Comfort of sound processor measured with a visual analogue scale where 0% is defined as no comfort at all and 100% as most comfortable imaginable, i.e. minimum 0, maximum 100.
