Study of Musical Perception and Post-operative Auditory Performance as a Function of the Depth of Stimulation in Subjects Implanted With a MED-EL Cochlear Implant and Using a FineHearing Strategy Single-center Randomized Cross-over Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Main objective: Investigate on new cochlear implanted patients whether the FineHearing strategy of the MED-EL cochlear implant gives better results on musical perception if the depth of stimulation (stimulation or not of the apical areas) is greater. Secondary objectives: Evaluate the effect of stimulation depth on vocal audiometric results, results of differential frequency threshold test and on qualitative sound perception.
