About this study

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.

Read the 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.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Remote FittingDevice

    Processors will be programmed using remote fitting application.

  • In-Office FittingDevice

    Processors will be programmed using standard Target CI application.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Speech Performance in Quiet After Chronic Use (EO Only)

    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.

    Measured: 2-3 weeks after fitting

  2. Speech Performance in Quiet - Chronic Use (Includes Overall - Both Groups)

    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.

    Measured: Test performed 2-3 weeks after fitting

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote Fitting and In-Office Fitting in people with Hearing Loss and Ear Diseases, run by Advanced Bionics at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Speech Performance in Quiet After Chronic Use (EO Only) (time frame: 2-3 weeks after fitting). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2023.
