Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) Word Recognition in Quiet for the Two Listening Conditions: Implant Ear Alone and When Using Both Ears Together From Pre-operatively Through 3 Years Post-activation of the Device

    The CNC Words test consists of 10 recorded lists of 50 monosyllabic words in CD format. For this study, two lists will be administered in quiet at a level equal to 60 dBA in the sound field and recorded as a total number of words correct, which will be expressed as a percentage correct for this study. The CNC word test has a score range of 0-100% with higher values indicating better scores.

    From pre-operatively through 3 years post-activation of the device

  • Number of Device or Procedure Related Adverse Events

    Up to 5 years post-activation of the device

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in AzBio Sentence Recognition in Noise in the Best Unilateral Condition

    Pre-operatively, up to 3 years post-activation of the device

Study Arms (1)

Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant

EXPERIMENTAL

Adults age 18 and over who meet FDA criteria for unilateral implantation with the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant.

Device: Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant

Interventions

Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Ear to Be Implanted:
  • Normal to moderate hearing loss in the low frequencies with severe to profound mid to high frequency hearing loss in the ear to be implanted
  • CNC word recognition of 10-60% in the ear to be implanted
  • Contralateral Ear:
  • Moderately severe to profound mid to high frequency hearing loss in the contralateral ear
  • CNC word recognition equal to or better than that in the ear to be implanted but not more than 80% correct

You may not qualify if:

  • not proficient in English
  • unwilling and/or unable to comply with the test protocol
  • deafness due to lesions of the acoustic nerve or central auditory pathway.
  • active middle-ear disease, with or without tympanic membrane perforation.
  • absence of cochlear development.
  • duration of severe to profound hearing loss of 30 years or greater
