Could remote Check-Ups replace frequent hospital visits for cochlear implant patients?
NCT ID NCT07117968
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests a new care pathway for adults receiving a cochlear implant. Instead of the usual nine in-person visits in the first year, the new approach uses early activation of the implant and remote monitoring visits. The goal is to see if this flexible plan maintains hearing performance while improving quality of life and reducing the burden on patients and hospitals. About 130 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the new hybrid pathway.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
remote monitoring and early activation of cochlear implant
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make follow-up care after cochlear implant surgery more convenient and flexible, reducing the number of in-person visits while maintaining hearing performance.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it aims to show the new approach is not worse than standard care. It is still early, and the benefits may not be as strong as hoped. Remote monitoring may not suit all patients.
