This study compared two CLARION cochlear implant electrodes in adults with severe to profound hearing loss. While both showed speech perception improvements, the HiFocus electrode with electrode positioning system (EPS) demonstrated better results at six months.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Cochlear implants are crucial for severe to profound hearing loss.
  • Advanced electrode designs aim to improve speech perception outcomes.
  • The CLARION Multi-Strategy Cochlear Implant system has undergone iterative development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare speech perception scores of two CLARION cochlear implant electrode systems: precurved electrode with electrode positioning system (EPS) and HiFocus electrode with EPS.
  • To evaluate speech strategy preferences in postlingually deafened adults.
  • To assess outcomes at 1, 3, and 6 months post-implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 112 adult patients with severe to profound hearing impairments.

  • Comparison of preoperative and postoperative speech perception scores (1, 3, 6 months).
  • Demographic data and speech strategy preferences were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Both electrode groups showed significant speech perception improvements from preoperative to 1-month postoperative.
    • The HiFocus group had a higher mean age and longer duration of deafness.
    • No significant difference in speech perception at 1 and 3 months; HiFocus showed significantly better CNC scores at 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Both CLARION electrode systems with EPS provide significant speech perception benefits.
    • The HiFocus electrode with EPS may offer superior long-term speech perception outcomes.
    • Further research into electrode design and patient factors is warranted.
