Eligibility Criteria

10 Months - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Group 1 subjects: Users of a CE approved Nucleus cochlear implant, resulting in open set speech understanding or Group 2 subjects: Subjects assessed by their CI clinic to be suitable for implantation with a commercially available CE approved Nucleus cochlear implant.
  • Paediatrics: Older than 10 months and <18 years when entering the study (Belgium only) or Adults: ≥18 years when entering the study (Belgium and Australia)
  • Subject/legally designated representative is fluent speaker in the language used for assessments.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent (for paediatric populations this criterion applies to the parent/legally designated representative).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the clinical investigation as determined by the investigator.
  • Additional health factors, known to the investigator, that would prevent or restrict participation in the audiological evaluations.
  • Investigator site personnel directly affiliated with this study and/or their immediate families; immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child, or sibling.
  • Cochlear employees or employees of Contract Research Organizations or contractors engaged by Cochlear for the purposes of this investigation.
  • Currently participating, or participated within the last 30 days, in another interventional clinical investigation/trial involving an investigational drug or device.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is to evaluate new approaches to device fitting and diagnostics for cochlear implant users. The evaluation can be performed in the laboratory in an acute session or in real world environments with take-home device use to further validate their benefits. Each feature will be tested in a sub-study specific to that hearing care model. On average, each sub-study is expected to include approximately 20 subjects.
