The patient is receiving the classical treatment : 10 sessions of 1 hour during one year where the clinician programs manually the Cochlear implant.

The patient is receiving the new treatment : 4 sessions of 1 hour during one year where the clinician programs the Cochlear implant with the FOX (Fitting to Outcome eXpert) software using artificial intelligence.

The Clinician test the 22 electrodes so that the patient is able to hear the language

Evaluate Fox software efficiency for the programming of Cochlear implants used to facilitate hearing of deaf patients. This research aims to determine the contribution (time, results,…) of Artificial intelligence to program cochlear implants. The investigator will compare the results of hearing tests of newly programmed patients with FOX to those of newly programmed patients with a manual fitting.

The outcomes used by software FOX are pure tone audiometry thresholds from 250 to 6000Hz, speech audiometry scores at 40, 55, 70 and 85 dB SPL, spectral discrimination scores using an oddity test in which 2 speech sounds are presented and where the aim is to react to the odd speech sound (Govaerts et al. 2006), and loudness growth curves determined with narrow band noises centered at 250, 1000 and 4000 Hz using an A§E® test battery (Meeuws et al., 2017).
