Auditory Performances With Different Stimulation Depths in Cochlear Implanted Subjects Using a Fine Structure Strategy

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Bilateral

In brief

Main objective: Investigate on new cochlear implanted patients whether the FineHearing strategy of the MED-EL cochlear implant gives better results on musical perception if the depth of stimulation (stimulation or not of the apical areas) is greater. Secondary objectives: Evaluate the effect of stimulation depth on vocal audiometric results, results of differential frequency threshold test and on qualitative sound perception.
