What participants receive

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

  • Neuro Zti cochlear implant and Neuro 2 sound processorDevice

    The study will consist in 3 visits:

    • Visit 1: it will be carried out the first contact and learning the measurement procedure.
    • Visit 2: it will be evaluated the speech perception and the measurement of the pupil dilatation in silence and noise conditions.
    • Visit 3: it will be analysed the effect of the change in the cochlear implant programming parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analyze the correlation between the speech performance in cochlear implant (CI) users, as measured through the percentage of sentence recognition (%) and the auditory effort, measured by peak pupil dilatation (PPD) in mm.

    The speech perception will be evaluated through validated sentence recognition tests (such as the HINT test) and the result will be the percentage of correct sentences repeated by the CI patient. The listening effort will be measured through pupillometry techniques in scenarios with different audiometric conditions (different SNR). The result will be the peak pupil dilation in mm.

    Measured: Up to 12 months after the beginning of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the correlation between the auditory effort as measured through pupillometry techniques and the subjective sensation of the CI patient as rated through validated NASA-TLX questionnaire.

    Analyze the correlation between the objetive auditory effort as measured through pupillometry techniques (peak pupil dilatation, PPD in mm) and the subjetive feeling of effort (fatigue, etc.) as rated by the CI patient in NASA-TLX questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 12-24 months after the beginning of the study

  2. Evaluate the correlation between the auditory effort as measured through pupillometry techniques and the cognitive performance of the CI user as measured by different cognitive tests (Nback, Progressive Matrices, Stroop).

    Analyze the correlation between the objetive auditory effort as measured through pupillometry techniques (peak pupil dilatation, PPD in mm) and the cognitive performance of the CI patient as measured through cognitive tests (Nback, Progressive Matrices, Stroop)

    Measured: Up to 12-24 months after the beginning of the study

  3. Analyze the differences between the auditory effort, as measured through pupillometry techniques in two different CI programming conditions.

    Compare the auditory effort made by the CI patients, as measured by pupillometry techniques, i.e., the peak pupil dilatation (PPD in mm) over two different CI programming conditions: the first condition with the noise filter capability of the CI processor in off mode (VoiceTrack OFF) and the second condition with the noise filters in ON mode (VoiceTrack ON)

    Measured: Up to 12-36 months after the beginning of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss and Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la gestión de la Investigación en Sevilla at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Amparo Callejón Leblic (955 00 80 00, amparocallejon@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analyze the correlation between the speech performance in cochlear implant (CI) users, as measured through the percentage of sentence recognition (%) and the auditory effort, measured by peak pupil dilatation (PPD) in mm. (time frame: Up to 12 months after the beginning of the study). 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 Mar 2022.
