CROS and Quality of Life of Elderly Cochlear Implant Recipients and Their Care Givers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Naida Link CROS for Hearing Impairment. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the Naida Link contralateral routing of signal (CROS) device on speech understanding in challenging listening situations and on the quality of life in unilateral CI recipients and their frequent communication partners. We hypothesize that: 1. Unilateral CI recipients will obtain higher speech understanding scores with the CROS device in challenging listening conditions 2. Use of the CROS device will lead to positive changes in ratings on Quality of Life measures for (i) unilateral CI recipients, and (ii) their frequent communication partners A frequent communication partner (FCP) is an individual (a family member, or a friend, or a care taker, or a significant other, or a colleague, etc.) who has at least two hours of in-person interactions with the CI recipient every week.

Interventions
Individuals 18+ who already have Advanced Bionics CII/90K/Ultra cochlear implants will be given Naida Link CROS device to assess the effect the device has on speech understanding in challenging listening situations and on the quality of life in unilateral cochlear implant recipients and their frequent communication partners.
