NCT02392403

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical benefit for patients implanted with the Nucleus® CI532 cochlear implant and to demonstrate the atraumatic nature of the electrode design. Nucleus® CI532 has a pre-curved, perimodiolar array, the EA32, which is introduced into the cochlea through a straightening sheath.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Scalar Position of Electrode Array Determined With Computer Tomography (CT) Scan

    The position of the electrode array can be completely in scala tympani, completely in scala vestibuli, or may transverse from scala tympani to scala vestibuli. The position can be determined from high resolution flat panel volume tomography (Cone beam) imaging.

    up to one month post-surgery

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Array Proximity to the Modiolus Measured Using the Wrapping Factor

    up to one month post-surgery

  • Surgeon Questionnaire on Implant Surgery

    at time of surgery

  • Change From Baseline in Speech Recognition in Quiet and Noise at 6 Months

    baseline and 6 months post activation

  • Patient Reported Benefit in Health Status Assessed Via Glasgow Benefit Inventory Questionnaire

    6 months post activation

  • Change From Baseline in Hearing Ability Assessed Via Speech Spatial Hearing Qualities Questionnaire at 6 Months

    baseline and 6 months post activation

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Eighteen years of age or older at the time of implantation

You may not qualify if:

  • Native speaker in the local language used to assess clinical performance
  • Evidence of hearing loss prior to 5 years of age
  • Prior cochlear implantation; i.e. having a cochlear implant in the contralateral ear, or previously implanted in either ear
  • Medical or psychological conditions that contraindicate undergoing general anaesthesia or surgery
  • Ossification, malformation or any other cochlear anomaly, such as common cavity, that might prevent complete insertion of the electrode array, as confirmed by medical examination
  • Hearing impairment due to lesion or neuropathy of the acoustic nerve, VIII nerve or central auditory pathway
  • Active middle-ear infection
  • Tympanic membrane perforation
  • Unrealistic expectations on the part of the subject, regarding the possible benefits, risks, and limitations that are inherent to the surgical procedure(s) and prosthetic devices
  • Unwillingness or inability of the candidate to comply with all investigational requirements such as undergoing a post-operative digital volume tomography/ConeBeam scan
  • Patients with existing Cerebral Spinal Fluid shunts or drains, existing perilymph fistula, skull fracture or Cerebral Spinal Fluid leak
  • Patients with recurrent episodes of bacterial meningitis
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Known allergies to components of the implant
  • Wearing other active implants with known interference with cochlear implants
