Bilateral Benefit in Adult Users of the HiRes 90K Bionic Ear System
This study has been completed.

Sponsor: Advanced Bionics
Information provided by (Responsible Party): Advanced Bionics
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00205881
  Purpose

Normal hearing listeners gain important everyday benefits from listening with two ears (bilateral hearing) compared to their baseline performance with hearing aids. Advantages of bilateral hearing include the ability to determine where sounds are coming from and the ability to hear sounds and understand speech in noisy environments. Based upon these advantages, this study will (1) evaluate the benefit of hearing with two Bionic Ear implants (one in each ear) and (2) compare HiResolution sound processing with conventional sound processing.

Further study details as provided by Advanced Bionics:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Comparison of Pre-implant Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) Scores to Post-implant CNC Scores in Bilateral Users. [ Time Frame: 8 months of bilateral cochlear implant use ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Participants were tested on 50 monosyllabic, phonetically balanced words from the Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) set, prior to implantation and after bilateral implantation. Percent correct scores for the CNC test are reported.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • HINT Sentences in Noise [ Time Frame: 8 months of bilateral cochlear implant use ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    20 sentences presented in noise at fixed levels
