Fitting a new cochlear implant sound processor using CT anatomy
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a way to set up (fit) a new cochlear implant sound processor using CT scan anatomy. It may help people hear better by tailoring how electrodes are mapped to their inner ear shape.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have severe-to-profound hearing loss in the implanted ear(s) after you started speaking
- Have a CT scan after your cochlear implant surgery available for the study
- Have a MED-EL cochlear implant with a Flex28 or FlexSoft electrode, and plan to start a SONNET 2 or RONDO3 processor on the newly implanted side (not yet activated)
- Spanish-speaking and willing to complete the study steps after signing consent paperwork
Quick eligibility check
