CT scans used to Fine-Tune Kids' hearing implants for better speech and reading

NCT ID NCT03886168

Summary

This study tested a new way to program cochlear implants in children with hearing loss. Researchers used CT scans to see exactly where the implant's electrodes were placed in the ear, then customized the device's settings. They wanted to see if this personalized approach improved children's hearing, speech, language, and reading skills over two years compared to standard programming.
