Assessment of benefits is based on standard questionnaires of hearing ability and quality of life in general.

Detailed Description

The clinical investigation is designed as a prospective repeated measures longitudinal study with intra-subject controls, using a selection of subjective evaluation tools to assess patient related benefits from hearing implant treatment of permanent hearing loss.

Clinically standard self-assessment scales, threshold measures and a general hearing history profile questionnaires for the clinician and implant recipient are made available for selection through an interface to a central electronic platform.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in General Quality of Life Assessed Via Health Utility Index Mark III QuestionnaireBaseline (i.e. pre-implanted status, prior to 1st switch-on) and post-implant at 3 years

A health utility value of 1.00 indicates perfect health while a score of 0.00 indicates death. The change from baseline to post-implant at 3 years is presented. A positive value indicates an improved quality of life, a negative value indicates impaired quality of life.

Change in Hearing Ability Assessed Via Speech Spatial Hearing Qualities QuestionnaireBaseline (i.e. pre-implanted status, prior to 1st switch-on) and post-implant at 3 years

A scale from 0 to 10 is used, where 0 represents "can not hear at all" and 10 "hear perfectly". The change from baseline to post-implant at 3 years is presented. A positive value indicates improved hearing, a negative value indicates impaired hearing.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Unaided Hearing Thresholdspost-implant at 2 years

Unaided hearing thresholds for bone and air conduction for the implanted and non-implanted ear to monitor clinically significant changes over time for frequencies between 125Hz and 8000 Hz
