About this trial

Main objective:

Compare speech recognition in noise with tonotopic setting (FS4T) and with tonotopic fitting modified by evolutionary algorithm (EAFS4T) in adult patients implanted for 6 months or more with a MED-EL cochlear implant with FS4T.

Secondary objectives:

Comparison of FS4T and EAFS4T settings

* for speech recognition in quiet * for subjective auditory spatial perception * for subjective auditory and musical perception

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers
