Clinical trials

This is a prospective and monocentric clinical investigation, non-interventional and non-randomized. The overall goal of this clinical study is to generate additional clinical data confirming the safety and efficacy of the remote programming functionality of Target CI version 1.5 and the AB Remote Support app. 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 uses a non-inferiority design to determine whether sentence recognition in noise is no worse with remote fitting than in an in-office setting.

The goal of the study is to determine the benefit of using an ECochG-based corrective action guide during cochlear implant surgery compared to the traditional surgical approach without ECochG surveillance and guidance.
