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 evaluate the effectiveness of the FineHearing strategy in cochlear implants for patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. It compares the auditory performance of patients using different stimulation depths, specifically focusing on the impact of activating apical versus basal electrodes. The study will assess musical perception, vocal audiometric results, and qualitative sound perception. By utilizing a variable stimulation rate, the research seeks to improve the coding of frequency information in cochlear implants.
