Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Speech-in-noise Performance in Cochlear Implant Recipients With a CROS Device on the Contralateral Ear (NCT NCT03867396)

NCT ID: NCT03867396

Last Updated: 2022-05-16

Results Overview

The IEEE test allows a researcher to evaluate how well a subject understands sentences in noisy situations. Primary Outcome #1 will assess how well the listener can hear with his/her cochlear implant. The listener will be tested without a contralateral device versus also wearing a contralateral device while listening to sentences coming from various directions along with competing noise coming from various directions. The directions of the sentences or noise are as follows: * Omni: from all directions * Ipsi: the same side * Front * Contra: Contralateral, from the opposite side of the implant Visits are flexible, based on participant preference and may be completed any time between enrollment and end of study. Testing takes about 12 minutes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 minutes

Population: One participant did not have data collected while wearing the contralateral device. Data is only available for 5 participants in the "No Contralateral Device" group. The PI has left the institution and multiple attempts to contact the PI or ascertain why only 5 participants were assessed for this group have been unsuccessful. This is the only data that can be provided.

Primary Outcome #1 will assess how well the listener can hear with his/her cochlear implant. The listener will be tested without a contralateral device versus also wearing a contralateral device while listening to sentences coming from various directions along with competing noise coming from various directions. The directions of the sentences or noise are as follows: * Omni: from all directions * Ipsi: the same side * Front * Contra: Contralateral, from the opposite side of the implant Visits are flexible, based on participant preference and may be completed any time between enrollment and end of study.

The IEEE test allows a researcher to evaluate how well a subject understands sentences in noisy situations. Primary Outcome #2 will assess how well the listener can hear wearing his/her cochlear implant and a CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signals device). A CROS is a device on the opposite ear that sends the nose to the cochlear implant. The listener will be tested without a contralateral device versus also wearing a contralateral device while listening to sentences coming from various directions along with competing noise coming from various directions. The directions of the sentences or noise are as follows: * Omni: from all directions * Ipsi: the same side * Front * Contra: Contralateral, from the opposite side of the implant Visits are flexible, based on participant preference and may be completed any time between enrollment and end of study.
