Anatomy-Based Fitting in Bimodal Cochlear Implant Users
Sponsor: Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel
Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of an anatomy-based frequency distribution in comparison to a default frequency distribution in bimodal CI patients, i.e. wearing a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid. Speech perception in quiet, speech perception in noise, consonant/vowel discrimination and pitch/timbre perception will be assessed in an acute set-up with both the default fitting map and the anatomy-based fitting map.
