Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective, 1:1 randomized controlled trial of immediate versus delayed cochlear implantation (CI) on hearing handicap, communicative function, loneliness, mental wellbeing, and cognitive functioning. Participants are randomized 1:1 to an immediate cochlear implant intervention group versus a hearing aid control intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A (Immediate Cochlear Implantation)

Group A will consist of 30 individuals who are candidates for cochlear implantation. They will be unilaterally implanted immediately after initial study testing has been completed and then be followed for 12 months after device activation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cochlear implantation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Unilateral implantation with a commercially approved Nucleus cochlear implant

Group B (Delayed Cochlear Implantation)

Group B will consist of 30 individuals who are candidates for cochlear implantation. They will continue to wear hearing aids after enrolling in the study and then be unilaterally implanted 6 months after enrollment and followed for 6 more months after device activation.
