Cochlear Implants Clinical Trial
— RACIS ABFOfficial title:
Audiological and Quality of Life Outcomes of Anatomy Based Fitting in Patients Implanted by Robot Assisted Cochlear Implant Surgery (RACIS)
Severe to profound hearing loss affects 0,8% of the global population. For these people, a conventional hearing aid often does not provide sufficient benefit. However, these people can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI). A CI needs to be individually programmed (fitted) for each recipient. A fitting "map" is defined as a set of electrical parameters that are individually adapted to a recipient's needs to achieve optimal sound perception. At present, most CI recipients are fitted with a default frequency allocation map that doesn't take individual variability in size and shape of the cochlea into account. In this study, a fitting strategy based on the post-operative CT scan, that will allow the audiologist to set a frequency-band distribution for CI fitting that may be more closely aligned to the natural tonotopic frequency distribution of a normal hearing cochlea, will be evaluated. This study will focus on patients that are already implanted with the HEARO robotic system.

Secondary | Patient reported outcome- Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ): Total score and score in the physical, psychological and social domain | The physical domain comprises three subdomains, namely Basic sound perception, Advanced sound perception, and Speech production. The Psychological domain contains the subdomain Self-esteem and the Social domain handles questions about Activity limitations and Social interactions. Each subdomain covers 10 statements. Each statement is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "Never" to "Always" (Statement 1-55) or from "No" to "Quite well" (Statement 56-60). Scores for the subdomains will be computed by transforming the answer categories (1-5) for all items: 1 = 0, 2 = 25, 3 = 50, 4 = 75, and 5 = 100 and by adding together the 10-item scores of each subdomain and dividing by the number of completed items.For each subdomain, the score ranges between 0-100 and a higher score indicates a better outcome. | Baseline at activation | |

Secondary | Patient reported outcome- Hearing Implant Sound Quality Index (HISQUI): Total score and classification of self-perceived auditory benefit | The 19 items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from always (99%) to never (1%). To calculate the overall score the corresponding numerical value of each item (from always = 7 to never = 1) is added. Uncompleted items and the response option "not applicable" correspond to 0 in this calculation. A total score of less than 30, 30-59, 60-89, 90-109, and 110-133 is respectively classified as a very poor, poor, moderate, good, and very good self-perceived auditory benefit. | Baseline at activation | |
