NCT03143257

Brief Summary

Study to accumulate post-market clinical evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the Sophono Alpha 2 and Alpha 2 Maximum Power Output (MPO) systems in subjects diagnosed with conductive hearing loss, single-sided deafness and mixed hearing loss who currently have or have had the Sophono implant.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Safety Outcome Measure: Proportion of Adverse Events (AEs) Related to Sophono Implant

    The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of AEs related to the Sophono implant, which will be assessed through retrospective surgical chart review and prospective Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) exam.

    From Implantation to Study Visit, up to 6 years

  • Gain in Sensitivity to Sound in Decibels (dB) Resulting From Sophono Alpha 2 Maximum Power Output (MPO) Processor

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the difference (gain) in the free-field pure tone audiometry assessed by pure tone average (PTA) unaided (AC) and aided (BC) by the Alpha 2 MPO processor. Standard audiometry test was used to assess free field pure tone audiometry.

    1 day

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Compare the Effectiveness of the Sophono Alpha 2 Processor to the Alpha 2 MPO Processor

    1 day

  • Percentage of Participants Satisfied After System Use

    1 day

  • Assess QOL After System Use

    1 day

Study Arms (1)

Subjects

Diagnosed with Conductive Hearing Loss (CHL), Single-Sided Deafness (SSD)and mixed Hearing Loss (HL) who currently have or have had the Sophono implant

Device: Sophono Bone Conduction Hearing Systems

Interventions

The Sophono Bone Conduction Hearing Systems are a family of sound processors and accessories that operate on the principle of Bone Conduction (BC) of sound vibrations. The Sophono Bone Conduction Hearing Systems transmits audio vibrations through the skin into the bone where sound is sensed by the inner ear/cochlea. The Sophono Sound Processor is magnetically attracted to the Magnetic Implant and Magnetic Spacer. The Magnetic Implant, which is secured to the skull bone, affixes the Magnetic Spacer to the head transcutaneously through magnetic attraction forces, and the Sound Processor is magnetically affixed to the Magnetic Spacer. Vibration from the Sound Processor is transduced through the Magnetic Spacer to the Magnetic Implant and through the bone to the inner ear.

Eligibility Criteria

Age5 Years+
Sexall
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The subject population for this study includes male and female patients 5 years of age and older who have received the Sophono implant. Subjects will be recruited from Investigators who have implanted Sophono systems or from other non-investigator physician referrals. Subjects are expected to represent a population diagnosed with conductive hearing loss (CHL), single-sided deafness (SSD), and mixed hearing loss (HL).

You may qualify if:

  • Any subject who currently has or who has had the Sophono implant (including those who have been explanted)
  • Has or has had Sophono implant for 3 months or longer

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has implant but is unable or unwilling to perform audiologic testing
  • Subject is currently participating in another clinical study and has not been approved for concurrent enrollment by the Study Sponsor
