Acceptance and Performance of CP1110 Sound Processor With Experienced Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients.

A Pre-Marketing, Prospective, Single-Site, Open-Label, Within-Subject, Actual-Use, Interventional Study of Acceptance and Performance With Experienced Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients Using the CP1110 Sound Processor Compared With the CP1000 Sound Processor

The clinical study aims to investigate acceptance, actual-use usability and speech performance with a new behind-the-ear sound processor (model number: CP1110) system, compared with the commercially available Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model: CP1000) system, with particular focus on the acceptance of and satisfaction with a noise reduction feature in the Automatic Scene Classifier 'SCAN 2'.

The clinical study aims to investigate acceptance, actual-use usability and speech performance with a new behind-the-ear sound processor (model number: CP1110) system, compared with the commercially available Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model: CP1000) system, with particular focus on the acceptance of and satisfaction with a noise reduction feature in the Automatic Scene Classifier 'SCAN 2'. This study will build on the evidence collected in previous Nucleus 7 Sound Processor take home studies and will also aim to confirm the in-booth performance of CP1110 and Nucleus 7 Sound Processors.
