About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Single-center Study of the Benefits of the Advanced Bionics Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook in Adults Cochlear Implant Recipients.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain a greater understanding of the range in benefit from acoustic amplification combined with electric stimulation in cochlear implant recipients with low-frequency hearing who do not currently use the commercially approved Advanced Bionics Acoustic Earhook. The aims of this study are to 1) obtain subjective sound quality judgements of recorded speech and music samples, 2) assess vocal emotion perception, and 3) evaluate post-operative speech perception and sound field detection thresholds in CI recipients both with and without use of the acoustic ear hook.

What participants receive

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

  • Advanced Bionics' Acoustic EarhookDevice

    designed to deliver acoustic amplification through the modular attachment of the Naída CI Q90 AcoustiEarhook, while also delivering electrical stimulation along the full range of the implanted Advanced Bionics electrode.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Speech recognition testing, with and without acoustic earhook

    5-alternative identification task to measure vocal emotion recognition (Toronto Emotional Speech Test (TESS) at initial fitting, and 3, 6, and 12 months after fitting

    Measured: 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months

  2. Change in Sound quality judgements, with and without acoustic earhook

    Ratings of sound quality (Judgement of Sound Quality {JSQ} test) of speech and music samples at initial fitting, and 3, 6, and 12 months after fitting

    Measured: 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months

  3. Change in Vocal emotion perception task, with and without acoustic earhook

    Measured: 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Advanced Bionics' Acoustic Earhook in people with Cochlear Implant and Cochlear Hearing Loss, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Speech recognition testing, with and without acoustic earhook (time frame: 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2020.
