Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Words Correct As Assessed by CUNY Sentence Test.

    Long-term effectiveness of the Electric-Acoustic System will be assessed by speech perception testing in noise with CUNY sentences completed through five years post-implantation.

    Five years (60 months) post-implantation for subjects implanted under the original EAS clinical trial

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Classification of Residual Hearing at 5 Years Post Operatively as a Function of the HEARRING SCALE.

    Five years (60 months) post-implantation for subjects implanted under the original EAS clinical trial

  • Percentage of Words Correct as Assessed by CNC Words in Quiet.

    Five years (60 months) post-implantation for subjects implanted under the original EAS clinical trial

  • Subjective Benefit From EAS Through 5 Years Post Implantation Measured on the APHAB (Abbreviated Profile Hearing Aid Benefit) Questionnaire.

    Five years (60 months) post-implantation for subjects implanted under the original EAS clinical trial

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • years of age or older at the time of implantation
  • Severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss for frequencies greater than 1500 Hz (i.e., threshold no better than 70 dB HL at 2000-8000 Hz)
  • Low-frequency thresholds up to and including 500 Hz no poorer than 65 dB HL
  • CNC word recognition score less than or equal to 60% in the ear to be implanted
  • CNC word recognition score less than or equal to 60% in the contralateral ear
  • English spoken as the primary language

You may not qualify if:

  • Conductive, retrocochlear, or central auditory disorder
  • Hearing loss in the ear to be implanted that has demonstrated a recent fluctuation at two or more frequencies of 15 dB in either direction in the last 2 years
  • Any physical, psychological, or emotional disorder that interferes with surgery or the ability to perform on test and rehabilitation procedures
  • Developmental delays or organic brain dysfunction
  • Unrealistic expectations on the part of the subject, regarding the possible benefits, risks, and limitations
  • Unwillingness or inability of the candidate to comply with all investigational requirements
