The COVID-19 pandemic and upgrades of CI speech processors for children: part II–hearing outcomes

PURPOSE: To gauge the benefits to children of upgrading speech processors during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The study involved 297 children, aged from 7.3 to 18.0 years, whose processors were upgraded to either Nucleus 7 or Kanso 2, or to Sonnet 2 or Rondo 3. To document the benefits of the upg...

description PURPOSE: To gauge the benefits to children of upgrading speech processors during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The study involved 297 children, aged from 7.3 to 18.0 years, whose processors were upgraded to either Nucleus 7 or Kanso 2, or to Sonnet 2 or Rondo 3. To document the benefits of the upgrades, a speech-in-noise discrimination test and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) were used. RESULTS: There was a significant benefit from the newer processors in terms of speech discrimination in noise. Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) indicated less hearing disability, a higher level of functioning in everyday life situations, and more satisfaction with the new speech processor in social situations. CONCLUSION: There is a measurable improvement in performance when the devices are upgraded to the new technology.
