A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare two tonotopy-based fitting strategies for bimodal hearing, which involves using a cochlear implant alongside a hearing aid. One strategy includes synchronization between the devices, while the other does not. The primary focus is on evaluating the accuracy of sound localization, speech perception in noise, and overall auditory skills experienced by the subjects. The study will involve adult patients who meet the criteria for cochlear implantation and have experienced total hearing loss for less than five years.
