Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

ABFnoS then ABFS (Cochlear implant)ABFS then ABFnoS (Cochlear implant)

ABFnoS then ABFS (Cochlear implant): Cochlear implant with tonotopy-based fitting without synchronization with the contralateral hearing-aid then with synchronization with the contralateral hearing-aid

ABFS then ABFnoS (Cochlear implant): Cochlear implant with tonotopy-based fitting with synchronization with the contralateral hearing-aid then without synchronization with the contralateral hearing-aid

Study summary

Main objective:

For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy with synchronization between HA and CI (ABFS) to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without synchronization (ABFnoS) for the accuracy of sound localization.

Secondary objectives:

Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the bias of sound localization. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for speech perception in noise. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient (\>= 18 years old) speaking French * Patient who fulfils the criteria for cochlear implantation * Total hearing loss for less than 5 years Exclusion Criteria: * retro-cochlear pathology: auditory neuropathy, vestibular schwannoma * patient with residual hearing \< 70 dB hearing level (HL) at 250 Hz and 500 Hz and \< 80 dB HL at 1000 Hz on the contralateral ear

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Accuracy of sound localization — at 6 weeks post-activation
    The accuracy of sound localization will be achieved with a sound localization test in the horizontal plane with 7 loudspeakers (HP) spaced 30° apart and arranged in a ½ circle from -90° to +90° at 1m around the patient.
  • Accuracy of sound localization — at 12 weeks post-activation
    The accuracy of sound localization will be achieved with a sound localization test in the horizontal plane with 7 loudspeakers (HP) spaced 30° apart and arranged in a ½ circle from -90° to +90° at 1m around the patient.
