A Pre-Market, Multicentre, Prospective, Open-Label, Within-Subject, Non-Randomised, Interventional Study Examining Acceptability of Auditory Implant Fitting Software Technologies
Cochlear
Summary
Auditory implant fitting software is used by hearing healthcare professionals to adjust and optimize hearing implant systems for people with hearing loss. While these software tools are carefully tested before they are released, some challenges may only become apparent when they are used in everyday clinical practice. This research study will assess how well different fitting software technologies work in real-world clinical settings. Information will be collected to better understand how clinicians use the software, identify any usability issues, and find ways to improve the user experience and software design.
