Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation of speech understanding at 65dB SPL after CI implantation with the positive vs. negative promontory test (frequency discrimination, auditory perception, listener fatigue) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Dependency of the change in speech comprehension with CI on the duration of near-deafness • Dependence of the change in speech comprehension with CI on the duration of hearing aid provision • Dependence of changes in speech comprehension with CI on the age at implantation • Dependence of changes in speech comprehension with CI on the etiology of hearing loss • Dependence of the change in speech comprehension with CI on the age of patients • Dependence of the change in speech comprehension with CI on the gender of the patients • Change in speech understanding with a CI at 65 dB compared to preoperative speech understanding with a hearing aid | — |
