Brief Summary

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

Evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of an advancement in the fitting characteristics of extended wear technology with the commercially available device as a comparator.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A interventional study in which participants will be fit with the commercially available device in one ear and the experimental device in the opposite ear. After two weeks, the devices will be switched so that the participant has worn each device in each ear for a total of 2 weeks. Participants will be blinded as to which device they are wearing in each ear. Comfort and sound quality will be assessed for each device prior to removing from ears.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Participants will be fit with commercially available extended wear hearing aid device A in the right ear and extended wear hearing aid with fitting modifications device B in the left ear for two weeks (first intervention); then fit with extended wear hearing aid with fitting modifications device B in the right ear and commercially available extended wear hearing aid device A in left ear for two weeks (second intervention). There will be no washout period.
Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Participants will not know which device is in each ear, only that they are being fit with Lyric devices.

Study Groups

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

First Intervention

Participants will be fit with currently available Lyric extended wear hearing aid device A in right ear and Lyric extended wear hearing aid with fitting modification device B in left ear for 14 days (Day 1 - Day 14 of study). They will then switch and be fit with Lyric extended wear hearing aid with fitting modification device B in the right ear and the commercially available Lyric device A in the left ear for 14 days (Day 15-Day 28 of study)
