- Conditions
- Hearing Loss
- Interventions
- Device: Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant
- Registration Number
- NCT02379273
- Lead Sponsor
- Cochlear
- Brief Summary
This post approval study evaluates the long term safety and efficacy of the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant System in a group of already implanted recipients.
- Detailed Description
The Hybrid L24 Implant System (P130016) was the subject of a pivotal clinical trial (IDE G070191) from 2007 through 2012. Data on the 50 subjects enrolled in the study, in support of safety and efficacy of the device, was submitted in June 2013 as part of Premarket Approval (PMA) #130016. As a condition of approval, March 20, 2014, a Post-Approval Study was designed to monitor the long-term (5 years postactivation for each subject) safety and effectiveness of the device in this existing cohort of implanted subjects was designed.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) Word Recognition in Quiet: Percentage of Total Words Correctly Recognized. 5 years postactivation. The CNC Words test consists of 10 recorded lists of 50 monosyllabic words in compact disk format. For this study, two lists were administered in quiet at a level equal to 60 dBA (decibels A-weighted) in the sound field and scored as total number of words correct, which will be expressed as a percentage correct. Minimum score is 0/100 words or 0% (worse), maximum score is 100/100 or 100% (best possible).
AzBio (Arizona Biomedical Institute) Sentence Recognition in Noise: Percentage of Total Words Correctly Recognized. 5 years postactivation. The AzBio Sentence Test consists of 15 lists of 20 sentences each. AzBio sentences are spoken by different talkers in a conversational style with limited contextual cues that the listener can use to predict or 'fill in' unintelligible words. Each list includes 5 sentences from 4 different male and female speakers. Each word in the sentence counts towards the overall score. Minimum score is 0 out the total number of words in a given list (varies list to list, with an average length of 141 words) words or 0% (worse), maximum score is all words correctly repeated or 100% (best possible).
