简要总结
This clinical study will test a newly developed cochlear implant known as CI622D. This experimental cochlear implant has been designed to slowly release a drug called dexamethasone. Dexamethasone works to ease inflammation, which is common after any surgical procedure. The goal is to learn if there are added benefits in implant performance and hearing outcomes with the dexamethasone-releasing cochlear implant (CI622D) vs. the standard cochlear implant (CI622) without dexamethasone. The study will be conducted in adults with sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. The study participants will undergo a series of tests that include testing their implant and their hearing. They will also complete questionnaires to see how they rate their hearing ability and their overall general health.
