Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who have been using a cochlear implant for more than 12 months (age 6 and above). Patients using a cochlear implant either unilaterally or bilaterally. Patients using the latest cochlear implants compatible with telemedicine (Cochlear Japan external devices: N5, N6, N7, KANSO). Patients with stable mapping created during in-person care within 6 months prior to the start of this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Cochlear implant mapping (for cochlear implant users) and hearing aid fitting (for hearing aid users) performed and adjusted through telemedicine and face-to-face care, respectively	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Hearing ability of users assessed through telemedicine and face-to-face care (for cochlear implant users: sound-field speech perception test using CI2004, iCI2004, and cochlear implant fitting threshold; for hearing aid users: sound-field speech perception test using the 67-S word list, 57-S word list, and hearing aid fitting threshold), along with functional evaluation metrics (questionnaire assessments such as SSQ12, SSQP, HUI).	—
