Evaluation of Remote Fitting in Adult and Pediatric Users of the HiResolution Bionic Ear System

Completed

• Conditions: Ear Diseases; Hearing Disorders; Hearing Loss; Otolaryngological Disease
• Interventions: Device: Remote Fitting; Device: In-Office Fitting

• Registration Number: NCT05034731
• Lead Sponsor: Advanced Bionics

Brief Summary

This is a prospective within-subjects repeated-measures study that will enroll 17 users 13 years or older implanted with a HiResolution Bionic Ear System.

Detailed Description

The overall goal of this clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the remote fitting option. Hearing outcomes are expected to be similar whether a study subject's sound processor is programmed in the traditional method in the audiologist's office or whether programming is performed via remote fitting. Therefore, the study described herein uses a non-inferiority design to determine whether sentence recognition in quiet is no worse with remote fitting than in an in-office setting.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Speech Performance in Quiet After Chronic Use (EO Only)	2-3 weeks after fitting	The primary efficacy endpoint is the chronic AzBio sentence recognition scores in quiet captured two-to-three weeks post investigational remote fitting (visit 3) as compared to the chronic AzBio sentence recognition scores in quiet captured two-to-three weeks post control in-office fitting (visit 2). Scores are determined on a scale of 0% to 100% words correct with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Speech Performance in Quiet - Chronic Use (Includes Overall - Both Groups)	Test performed 2-3 weeks after fitting	The primary efficacy endpoint is the chronic AzBio sentence recognition scores in quiet captured two-to-three weeks post investigational remote fitting (visit 3) as compared to the chronic AzBio sentence recognition scores in quiet captured two-to-three weeks post control in-office fitting (visit 2). Scores are determined on a scale of 0% to 100% words correct with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
