Clinical Evaluation of a Cochlear Implant Sound Processor

The overall goal of this clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a cochlear implant sound processor. Hearing outcomes are expected to be similar non-inferior to as compared to the currently approved software and processors. Therefore, the study described herein uses a non-inferiority design to determine whether sentence recognition in quiet and in noise is no worse with the new sound processor than with currently approved software on a Q90 processor.
