Cochlear

This study tested a new cochlear implant (CI632) in 10 adults who have some low-frequency hearing but poor high-frequency hearing. The goal was to see if the implant improves speech understanding and overall hearing. Participants received the implant and were followed to measure …

This study tested a new sound processor, the Osia 3, against the current Osia 2 model in 12 adults with hearing implants. Participants completed hearing tests and rated sound quality with both devices. The goal was to see if the new processor improves speech understanding in nois…

This study tested whether a new sound processor (Osia 3) helps adults with hearing loss or single-sided deafness hear better than the current model (Osia 2). Twenty-nine adults who already have a bone-anchored implant tried both processors. Researchers measured speech understandi…

This study tested whether changing the stimulation settings (called MAPs) in cochlear implants can improve how well adults with hearing loss understand speech, both in quiet and noisy environments. Twenty experienced cochlear implant users tried different low-power settings and e…

This study tested two different methods for programming cochlear implants in 17 adults with hearing loss. The goal was to see if a new, faster fitting method works as well as the standard one for understanding speech in quiet and noisy settings. Results will help improve how impl…

This study tested a new method for programming cochlear implants called Focused Multipolar Stimulation (FMS). Researchers compared two ways to set up the implant: one using objective measurements and another based on the user's feedback. The goal was to see which approach helps a…

This study tested a new mobile app feature that helps cochlear implant users measure how loud different sounds feel. Twenty adults with cochlear implants used the app at home and in the clinic. The goal was to see if the app could collect accurate loudness data, which could make …

This study tested new ways of stimulating the hearing nerve in 19 adults who already have a cochlear implant. The goal was to see if these new methods could improve how well they hear sounds and understand speech. Researchers adjusted the device settings and measured hearing perf…

This study tested a mobile app that lets adults with cochlear implants track their hearing difficulties in real-world situations, like noisy restaurants. The goal was to see if the app could collect useful data on how the implant performs outside the clinic. Fifty-one experienced…
