Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this clinical trial, an un-controlled, repeated measures open design with within-subject comparison will be used to evaluate the effect of the device under investigation on sound perception. This design was shown to be successful in previous studies for the evaluation of sound coding strategies.

Furthermore, a within-subject comparison decreases the variance in the results allowing for fewer subjects when the population using the investigational device is not large in general.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Naida CI M hearing device

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint of this clinical investigation is the difference in speech intelligibility measured in percent correct with AutoZoomControl compared to an omnidirectional microphone on Naída M hearing devices.The Naída CI M90 sound processor is a behind-the-ear (BTE) sound processor based on the Phonak Marvel hearing aid platform. It replaces the market approved Naída CI Q-Series processors. The Naída Link M90 hearing aid is a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid based on the Phonak Marvel hearing aid platform. It is especially designed to be used for bimodal CI users equipped with a Naída CI M90 sound processor.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Bilateral users: two implant systems

For bilateral CI users two Naida CI M sound processors (one per ear) will be used during the study.

Device: Naida CI M hearing device
speech intelligibility measurement with Naida CI M hearing device

Bimodal users: hearing aid contralateral

For bimodal subjects there will be one Naida CI M sound processor on the implanted ear as well as one hearing aid on the contralateral ear.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Difference in speech intelligibility in noise [2 months]

    The primary endpoint of this clinical investigation is the difference in speech intelligibility measured in percent correct with AutoZoomControl compared to an omnidirectional microphone on Naída M hearing devices. The French Matrix Test will be used and percentage correct will be recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Differences in speech perception in noise [2 months]

    ZoomControl versus Omnidirectional microphone and AutoZoomControl versus ZoomControlon Naída M hearing devices will be compared. The French Matrix Test will be used and percentage correct will be recorded.

  2. Differences in localization abilities [2 months]

    AutoZoom control versus Omnidirectional microphone, ZoomControl versus Omnidirectional microphone and AutoZoomControl versus ZoomControlon Naída M hearing devices will be compared. The directions (0,+/-90,180 degrees) from where the sentences of the French Matrix Test are presented have to be determined. Percentage correct will be recorded.
