Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All trial subjects are individuals who are already currently using SoundBite Hearing System for treatment of their SSD or CHL and were enrolled in the SoundBite Hearing System Long Term Multi Site Patient Use Study (Protocol CLN0006). Participants are willing to participate in this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who previously were enrolled in SoundBite Hearing System Long Term Multi Site Patient Use Study (Protocol CLN006) and completed the 12 month study visit.
  • Additionally, subjects must meet one of the two criteria for hearing loss:
  • Moderately severe, severe, or profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the other ear (i.e. single sided deafness or "SSD"). Normal hearing is defined as a pure tone average (PTA) air-conduction (AC) hearing threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz) of better than or equal to 25 dB HL.
  • OR
  • Conductive hearing loss where the pure tone average bone-conduction hearing threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz) is better than or equal to 25 dB HL.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects that do not meet one of the two the audiometric criteria as measured on the audiogram for the 12 month study appointment for Protocol CLN006:
  • A moderately severe, severe, or profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the other ear (i.e. single sided deafness or -SSD‖). Normal hearing is defined as a pure tone average (PTA) air-conduction (AC) hearing threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz) of better than or equal to 25 dB HL.
  • Patients with conductive hearing loss where the pure tone average bone-conduction hearing threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz) is better than or equal to 25 dB HL
  • The SoundBite Hearing System and all portions of it are contraindicated for use in an MRI Environment and should be removed prior to MRI exposure
  • The SoundBite Hearing System is not to be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components including allergies to polymers.
  • The SoundBite Hearing system is contraindicated for vulnerable populations that are unable to use their hands such as paraplegics or others that are unable to comply with the warnings in the product's labeling.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SoundBite Hearing SystemDevice

    The Sonitus Medical SoundBite Hearing System prosthetic device is a bone conduction device that has been FDA cleared for the treatment of single-sided deafness (SSD) and conductive hearing loss (CHL). The Sonitus Medical SoundBite Hearing System consists of an In-the-Mouth (ITM) component, an external microphone component worn behind the ear (BTE), a calibration interface cable and PC-controlled software for subject calibration. A charger is also provided to charge the ITM and the BTE. The objective of this study is multi-site observational study is to asses the long-term patient use of the Sonitus Medical SoundBite Hearing System.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) Questionnaire

    Change in Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB, Form A- New Formate, Hearing Aid Research Lab, University of Memphis, 1994) score at 24 months compared to baseline.

    Measured: 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Aided Threshold Testing

    Aided Threshold testing of the impaired ear at 24 months as compared with baseline using the SoundBite Hearing System

    Measured: 24 Months
