A real-world evaluation of the clinical benefits of improved sound processor technology among Chinese cochlear implant users: A focus on Cochlear Nucleus 7.

ABSTRACT: Real-world evidence is increasingly used to support clinical and regulatory decisions globally and may be a useful tool to study the unique needs of cochlear implant users in China. The ability to recognize and understand speech in noise is critical for cochlear implant users, however, this remains a challenge in everyday settings with fluctuating competing noise levels. The Cochlear™ Sound Processor, Nucleus® 7 (CP1000), includes Forward Focus, a spatial noise algorithm aimed to improve speech-in-noise performance, and Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad functionality. We conducted a prospective, single-center, open-label, within-participant, real-world evidence investigation in participants with cochlear implants. The primary objective of this study, conducted in China, was to compare speech perce
