Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine if artificial intelligence- based noise reduction can offer objective improvement in hearing and speech perception for hearing impaired patients.

Study Groups

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

Hearing Aid only

Patients with hearing impairment who do not have a Cochlear implant

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DEEPSONIC™ Deep Sound Optimized Neural Integrated Chip Artificial intelligence-based noise reduction

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants with hearing loss will be fitted with the Phonak Audéo Sphere™ Infinio (PAI) hearing aid with artificial intelligence (AI)-based noise reduction, which incorporates deep neural networks (DNN) technology to reduce background noise.

Speech stimuli, presented at a comfortable level of approximately 60 dB SPL (like normal conversation), will be delivered via a loudspeaker positioned directly in front of the participant.

They will be tested in 3 listening environments: quiet, moderate noise, high noise.

Speech perception scores will be measured as a function of each hearing aid program setting: quiet setting, moderate noise, and advanced AI-based reduction for high noise.

Cochlear Implant with Hearing Aid

Patients with hearing impairment who have a single-sided implant (using a hearing aid on the opposite ear)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DEEPSONIC™ Deep Sound Optimized Neural Integrated Chip Artificial intelligence-based noise reduction

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants with hearing loss will be fitted with the Phonak Audéo Sphere™ Infinio (PAI) hearing aid with artificial intelligence (AI)-based noise reduction, which incorporates deep neural networks (DNN) technology to reduce background noise.

Speech stimuli, presented at a comfortable level of approximately 60 dB SPL (like normal conversation), will be delivered via a loudspeaker positioned directly in front of the participant.

They will be tested in 3 listening environments: quiet, moderate noise, high noise.

Speech perception scores will be measured as a function of each hearing aid program setting: quiet setting, moderate noise, and advanced AI-based reduction for high noise.
