Clinical Evaluation of the RH210 Hearing Aid
Clinical Evaluation of the RH210 Hearing Aid Software Used With RH210A Device in Adults With Perceived Mild-to-Moderate Hearing Loss
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate that the RH210A device provides a clinically meaningful improvement in speech understanding in noise compared with unaided listening in adults with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss.
Speech-in-noise performance will be assessed using the BKB-SIN (Australian version), which quantifies the change in signal-to-noise ratio required for sentence recognition. The primary endpoint is defined as the within-subject difference between unaided and RH210 conditions (change in SNR = Unaided - RH210). A successful outcome is defined as a mean improvement of equal to or more than 2 dB in SNR with RH210 compared to unaided listening.

Speech understanding in background noise (BKB-SIN; AUS)
時間枠：Day 1 (Visit 1) and Day 7 (Visit 2)
|
Participants will be asked to perform a speech in noise test. Participants will be presented with speech sentences and asked to recall the words they hear. The target stimuli will comprise of BKB sentences (Australian English version), and the noise will be spatially diffuse speech babble. The noise level will be fixed and the speech level will be adaptively changed (Keidser et al, 2013) to determine the speech reception threshold at 50% in dB SNR recall performance, using phonemic scoring. The test conditions, unaided and aided, will comprise of four repeated measures each, with 32 sentence repeats, conducted at 50% threshold. The order of conditions will be randomized across participant. The device will be set to 'Immersive Conversation' mode. For the AirPods Pro 2, the Hearing Aid setting will be toggled, and the AirPods set in Transparency mode. |
