摘要
The present multicentric clinical study involves 19 centres, 16 of them in German-speaking countries, 1 British, 1 Polish and 1 Hungarian. 60 postlingually deafened adults with a mean age of 47.5 years (20-70) and a mean duration of deafness of 5.3 years (0.5-20) have been evaluated with the MED-EL COMBI 40 cochlear implant which implements a high-rate continuous-interleaved-sampling strategy with 8 channels, Safety and effectiveness data have been collected, Speech perception tests include a 16-consonant, an 8-vowel, a sentence and a monosyllabic-word test in all languages and a 2-digit figure test in all languages but English, Test intervals are 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year after first fitting. 41 of the 60 postlingually deafened adult study patients have completed their 6-month evaluation, While their pre-operative monosyllabic-word score was 0%, their mean monosyllabic-word score 6 months after first fitting was 48% (8-90) with a median of 50%, The mean sentence understanding was 84% (24-100) with a median of 90%, The respective values for the 1-year evaluations with 25 patients are a mean of 50% (5-85), with a median of 60%, for the monosyllables and a mean of 89% (30-100), with a median of 97%, for the sentences.
