Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting and a Conventional Fitting

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

FS4 then TFS4 (cochlear implant): Cochlear implant with default fitting then with tonotopy-based fitting

TFS4 then FS4 (cochlear implant): Cochlear implant with tonotopy-based fitting then with default fitting

Study summary

Main objective:

For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise.

Secondary objectives:

Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Speech recognition in noise — at 6 weeks post-activation
  The speech recognition in noise is evaluated with the French Matrix test (Framatrix) \[S. Jansen et al. Comparison of three types of French speech-in-noise tests: a multi-center study. Int J Audiol, 51 (3) (2012), pp. 164-173\].
• Speech recognition in noise — at 12 weeks post-activation
  The speech recognition in noise is evaluated with the French Matrix test (Framatrix) \[S. Jansen et al. Comparison of three types of French speech-in-noise tests: a multi-center study. Int J Audiol, 51 (3) (2012), pp. 164-173\].
