Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Following a sufficient delay after the cochlear implantation and initial implant activation, the patient will return to the hospital for follow-up visits for equipment maintenance and auditory performance evaluation only once per year. This frequency might appear either insufficient, in which case an additional patient check-up will be arranged, or excessive if patient performances and implant adjustments are stable. Using at-home testing tool for remote hearing performance monitoring can thus appear advantageous for both patients and clinicians, allowing to avoid an unnecessary journey to the implantation reference center for the first and to diminish a number of unscheduled medical appointments for the second.
