Impact of Robotic Cochlear Implantation on Hearing Performance in Noise
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Surgery with RobOtol®: Patient having cochlear implantation surgery with RobOtol®.
Conventional manual surgery: Patient having conventional manual cochlear implantation surgery
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of cochlear implantation : conventional manual insertion versus robot-assisted in order to verify whether robotic insertion provides better performance in the noisy environment.
To do this, we will compare the two methods of insertion of the electrode holder, on 140 patients candidates for cochlear implantation randomized in two groups (70 conventional surgery versus 70 robot-assisted surgery). All patients will be recruited during 17 months, in our Ear, nose and throat (ENT) Department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital group, the first center for adult patients established in France (on average 180 patients/year).
Patient will be followed for 9 months with clinical evaluation, imaging, audiometric, listening effort and quality of life assessments. These evaluations will be carried out preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months and 6 months post-activation of the cochlear implant.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Auditory performance in noise with the cochlear implant — At 6 months post-implantation
Evolution of the intelligibility score (Variation of the percentage of words understood) for monosyllabic Lafon words presented at 60 dB SPL with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 dB (SNR10) between the preoperative score and the score at 6 months post-implantation
