NCT03848338

Brief Summary

This trial is a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using Electrocochleography recorded from a cochlear implant intra-operatively in real time to monitor the progress of its insertion. Correlation between:

  1. 1.Observed changes in this signal during surgery and residual hearing loss post-operatively and
  2. 2.Recordings of this signal post-operatively and actual pure tone audiometry results will also be assessed.

Eligibility Criteria

Age1 Year+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Meets normal candidacy requirements for cochlear implantation
  • At least 1 year of age at time of consent being given
  • Patent cochlea as verified by CT or MRI scan
  • No cochlear abnormality that might prevent insertion of the electrode array
  • Measurable residual hearing in the ear to be implanted
  • No additional complex needs that would prevent study procedures or normal clinical follow-up protocol being followed
  • AB Implant selected by patient or MDT
  • Written informed consent obtained

You may not qualify if:

  • Medically complex cases where minimal duration of surgery is required
