Telemonitoring in Cochlear Implant Patient Care

Evaluation of the Changes in Cochlear Implant Patients Care Pathway With the Use of Telemonitoring

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Hearing Loss

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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This French study evaluates whether remote hearing monitoring — using the Cochlear Remote Check smartphone app to perform hearing tests at home — reduces the number of unscheduled clinic visits for adults with cochlear implants, compared to standard annual follow-up care. Cochlear implant users sometimes need to visit their implant center unexpectedly when their device isn't working properly, which is inconvenient and disruptive for both patients and clinics. Adults who have had a Cochlear implant for at least 5 years, have already replaced their processor at least once, are using a compatible Nucleus CP1000 or CP1150 processor, and own an Apple or Android smartphone are eligible. Participation involves using the Remote Check app for remote hearing tests at 5 and 11 months, with a final in-person visit at 12 months.
