One Year Assessment of the Hearing Preservation Potential of the EVO Electrode Array.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A prospective longitudinal multicentre study was conducted to assess the one-year postsurgical hearing preservation profile of the EVO^TM electrode array.

Methods

Fifteen adults presenting indications of electro-acoustic stimulation (pure-tone audiometry (PTA) thresholds ≤70 dB below 750 Hz) were implanted with the EVO™ electrode array. Hearing thresholds were collected at five time-points from CI activation to twelve months (12M) after activation. Hearing thresholds and hearing preservation profiles (HEARRING group classification) were assessed.

Results

All subjects had measurable hearing thresholds at follow-up. No case of complete loss of hearing or minimal hearing preservation was reported at any time point. At activation (N_act = 15
