NCT05030961

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if remote visits for pediatric cochlear implant patients are possible. The investigator will be assessing whether a multi-disciplinary team approach can be achieved remotely for patients both undergoing the cochlear implant (CI) process and for those who have already been implanted.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Electrode Impedances

    Electrode Impedances values, reported in kOhm, will be extracted from the cochlear implant software

    Up to 1 year

  • Electrically evoked compound potential values

    Electrically evoked compound potential values, reported in mV, will be extracted from the cochlear implant software

    Up to 1 year

  • Datalogging

    Datalogging, reported in hours per week, will be extracted from the cochlear implant software

    Up to 1 year

  • Threshold/Upper stimulation levels

    As measured from the cochlear implant software

    Up to 1 year

  • LittleEars questionnaire scores

    The LittleEars auditory questionnaire (LEAQ) uses parent responses to assess auditory behavior in children up to 24 months of age. The questionnaire is scored from 0 to 35 with 0 indicating poorer performance and 35 indicating better performance.

    Up to 1 year

  • Auditory Skills Checklist (ASC) scores

    ASC has a Total Score ranges from zero to 70, with higher scores indicating development of increasingly complex listening skills

    Up to 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Behavior Assessment System for Children version 3 (BASC-3) scores

    Up to 1 year

  • Patient Health Questionnaire version 8 (PHQ-8) scores

    Up to 1 year

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder version 7 (GAD-7) scores

    Up to 1 year

  • Quality of Life- CI (QoL-CI) scores

    Up to 1 year

  • Cochlear Implant Quality of Life-35 Profile (CIQOL-35 Profile) scores

    Up to 1 year

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Pediatric Cochlear Implant Candidate Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who are in the process of receiving standard of care cochlear implant evaluation. Participants will receive a virtual team-based clinic as a part of the candidacy evaluation process for one year.

Behavioral: Virtual team-based clinic

Established Cochlear Implant Recipient Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who are established cochlear implant recipients. Participants will receive a virtual team-based clinic, including remote cochlear implant programming, for one year.

Behavioral: Virtual team-based clinicBehavioral: Remote cochlear implant programming

Interventions

Virtual team-based clinic will include consultation, counseling, and education from pediatric audiology, psychology, auditory verbal therapy, and education. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes with a total of 3 sessions within the year.

Established Cochlear Implant Recipient GroupPediatric Cochlear Implant Candidate Group

Remote cochlear implant programming will be provided via Zoom on a study-provided encrypted laptop.

Eligibility Criteria

Age0 Years - 12 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • New patients undergoing CI evaluation:
  • English speaking patients (parents can speak English and/or Spanish)
  • Ages 0-12 years who are cochlear implant candidates and undergoing the evaluation process
  • Established CI recipients:
  • English speaking patients (parents can speak English and/or Spanish)
  • Ages 1-12 with at least 6 months of CI experience with a company that has remote programming capacity

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with families who speak languages other than English or Spanish
  • Patients who do not live in Florida
