Study Population

Routine patients undergoing a standard cochlear implantation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Candidate for cochlear implantation with the CI532 or CI512 devices
  • 18 years of age or older at the time of enrolment
  • Normal cochlea anatomy, established via pre-operative Computer Tomography
  • Willingness to participate in and to comply with all requirements of the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior cochlear implantation in the ear to be implanted
  • Ossification or any other cochlear anomaly that might prevent complete insertion of the electrode array
  • Abnormal cochlear anatomy on pre-operative Computer Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Additional handicaps that would prevent participation in evaluations
  • Pregnant and breast feeding women, prisoners, or anyone in custody
  • Unrealistic expectations on the part of the subject, regarding the possible benefits, risks and limitations that are inherent to the procedure

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Specificity (%) of Transimpedance Measurement to Identify Electrode Fold-over
Time Frame: at surgery, within one minute

Measured with Custom SoundTM EP 5. It took one minute to measure all electrodes in surgery.

Intraoperative transimpedance measures from 148 ears without fold-overs (as evidenced by radiographic imaging) were analysed to assess the specificity of the algorithm.
