About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of a Spatial Localization Training Program on Auditory Comprehension in Noise in Bi-implanted Subjects With Post-lingual Deafness

Hearing comprehension under complex listening conditions is considered to be the central complaint of everyday life for patients with cochlear implants. Localization is one of the cues for listening comprehension. However, only few studies have investigated the effect of spatial localization training on listening comprehension performance in noise. None of these studies correspond to the desire to purpose training by speech therapists while using affordable equipment.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a spatial localization training protocol in cochlear bi-implanted subjects with post-lingual deafness on their ability to understand in noise.

2 groups of 10 subjects each will be recruited: a patient group and a control group. The patient group will undergo 8 sessions of spatial localization rehabilitation lasting an average of 45 minutes each.

After this programme, the pre-test and post- test results obtained will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Hearing comprehension performance in noise

    MBAA (Marginal Benefic from Acoustical Amplification) scale. Minimal score = 0 and maximal score =540. minimum score means that the patient is unable to repeat phrases and maximal score means that the patient is able to repeats all phrases.

    Measured: 10 weeks after inclusion

  2. Change of Hearing comprehension performance in noise

    15iSSQ (New 15 items Speech Spatial and qualities of hearing Scale Shoirt Form). Minimum score =0 and maximal score = 150. maximal score means that the patient has a good quality of life and minimum score means that his quality of life is bad.

    It is a qualitative evaluation.

    Measured: 10 weeks after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing spatial localisation training in people with Hearing Loss, Cochlear, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 1 site in Reunion.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. 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 Reunion. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 of Hearing comprehension performance in noise (time frame: 10 weeks after inclusion). The study lists 2 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 20 Oct 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
