Brief Summary

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

This trial is a monocentric, prospective and controlled study of the pupil response to detect hearing threshold and comfortable loudness of normal-hearing (NH) and CI-subjects.

Detailed Description

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

The purpose of the clinical investigation is to explore the pupil dilation response of subjects with a cochlear implant and to provide proof of concept that it is possible to perform the adaptation of a cochlear implant using pupillometry.

The population of this study is divided in 2 group:

* A control group with normal-hearing listeners.
* An Cl group with subjects with bilateral, severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, with at least one cochlear implant for more than 6 months.

Mainly used in audiology to evaluate listening effort, pupillometry is an objective measure that could also be used for fittings. Studies have shown that sound intensity influence pupil dilation. indeed, normal hearing and hearing aids subjects exhibit larger pupil responses with increasing intensity/loudness. The purpose of this study is to explore the pupil dilation response of cochlear implant subjects and to provide a proof of concept that we can perform cochlear implant fitting using pupillometry.

Implanted subjects (Cl group) will undergo up to 3 visits:

1. Visit 1 or V1(inclusion) on day 1,
2. Visit 2 or V2 (Experiment 1-+2+3 or Experiment 1+2 or Experiment 3 )\* up to 1 month after V1
3. Visit 3 or V3 (Experiment 1+2 or Experiment 3, optional)\* up to 1 month after V2 \*lt is up to investigator decision to conduct experiment 1+2 and experiment 3 the same day or in on independent visit (no matter in which order)

Normal-hearing listeners (control group) will undergo up to 2 visits:

1. Visit 1 or Va (inclusion) on day 1,
2. Visit 2 or V2 (experiment) up to 1 month after V1

Study Groups

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

Control group (normal hearing in regards of age)

Normal hearing participants according to pure tone hearing levels defined for age and tested frequency (audiometry ISO 7029 and Wang \& Puel, 2020 recommendations for hearing loss at the tested frequencies). Total of 32 subjects in this arm.

Group Type OTHER

Pupillometry (Eve-tracking measurements)

Intervention Type OTHER

Pupillometry measurements are carried out by a dedicated device (eye tracker), which includes cameras allowing the measurement of pupillary dilation. The subject stands in front of a screen and fixes a point in the center of the screen, the cameras placed on the screen allowing a measurement of the pupillary dilation in a non-invasive way. These eye-tracking measurements are performed simultaneously with an auditory task and allow to study the pupil's response to different stimuli.

CI group (cochlear implanted subjects)

Cochlear implanted subjects with bilateral, severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, with at least one Oticon Medical cochlear implant system .

Up to 40 subjects in this arm:

* 20 subjects will perform experiment 1 \& 2
* 20 subjects will perform experiment 3

* The subjects of the experiment 3 ore either those taken part to experiment 1 and 2, or subjects who only take port to the experiment 3

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

* Fluent in French language
* Affiliation to social security
* Information and signature of a written consent prior to any study-specific procedure
* Control group (normal hearing in regards of age):

• Normal hearing participants according to pure tone hearing levels defined for age and tested frequency (audiometry ISO 7029 and Wand \& Puel, 2020 recommendations for hearing loss at the tested frequencies)
* CI group (cochlear implant subjects):

* Bilateral, severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, with at least one cochlear implant system

Exclusion Criteria

* Both groups, according to the best practices for pupillometry (Winn et al., 2018):

* Eye diseases: nystagmus, amblyopia, and macular degeneration

* Person under legal protection (guardianship, curators, other, etc.) or under family authorization
* Unwillingness or inability to comply with all investigational requirements
* Additional cognitive, medical, or social handicaps that would prevent completion of all study requirements
