Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the feasibility study is to investigate hearing performance (audiometry and speech perception) using the CI624 in a group of adults (n=15) with low-frequency residual hearing who meet inclusion criteria.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Characterize hearing performance of the CI624. [14 months]
Hearing performance of the CI624 will characterized using Constant Nucleus Constant (CNC) word recognition in quiet. Performance is scored as percent correct words.
