| Summary: | The Cochlear Carina device is the only fully implantable middle ear device currently available. It is suitable for adults with severe mixed or sensorineural hearing loss who can't wear standard hearing aids or benefit from a BAHA. In Oxford we have implanted 6 adults (7 ears) with Cochlear Carina Implants. We have presented our outcome data previously. This poster will compare outcomes for 5 of these patients following re-programming with the new Carina fitting software 4.0.1, which has an adaptive feedback canceller (AFC). Initial results indicate improved speech discrimination scores and aided thresholds. The programming appointment time is significantly reduced due to the automatic adaptive feedback canceller, which does not require time consuming feedback measurements in different head positions. |
