Acceptance and Performance of CP1110 Sound Processor With Experienced Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Not Applicable

Completed

Brief Summary: The clinical study aims to investigate acceptance, actual-use usability and speech performance with a new behind-the-ear sound processor (model number: CP1110) system, compared with the commercially available Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model: CP1000) system, with particular focus on the acceptance of and satisfaction with a noise reduction feature in the Automatic Scene Classifier 'SCAN 2'.

Detailed Description: The clinical study aims to investigate acceptance, actual-use usability and speech performance with a new behind-the-ear sound processor (model number: CP1110) system, compared with the commercially available Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model: CP1000) system, with particular focus on the acceptance of and satisfaction with a noise reduction feature in the Automatic Scene Classifier 'SCAN 2'. This study will build on the evidence collected in previous Nucleus 7 Sound Processor take home studies and will also aim to confirm the in-booth performance of CP1110 and Nucleus 7 Sound Processors.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) Assessed in Spatially Separated Speech and Noise (S0Nrearhalf)	6 months	Paired difference in dB SRT (AuSTIN) between the CP1110 Sound Processor with automated ForwardFocus ON (SCAN 2 FF) and ForwardFocus OFF (SCAN 2) in 65 dB SPL S0Nrearhalf 4TB.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) Assessed in Spatially Separated Speech and Noise (S0N3)	6 months	Paired difference in dB SRT (AuSTIN) between the CP1110 Sound Processor with automated ForwardFocus On (SCAN 2 FF) and ForwardFocus OFF (SCAN 2) in 65 dB SPL S0N3 Babble.
Adult Cochlear Implant Recipient Speech Perception in Quiet With the CP1110 Sound Processor and the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor	6 months	Paired difference in percentage CNC Words correct in quiet (50 dB) with the CP1110 Sound Processor and Nucleus 7 Sound Processor.
Adult Cochlear Implant Subjective Hearing Performance and Sound Quality With the CP1110 Sound Processor and Nucleus 7 Sound Processor	Baseline (Nucleus 7) and Visit 2 (6 months, CP1110)	Paired difference in Global Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ12) scores after experience with the CP1110 Sound Processor and Nucleus 7 Sound Responses. SSQ12 have a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of 10, wherein a higher score means a better outcome.
