Experimental: Hybrid L24 pivotal study subjects
Subjects implanted with the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant as part of the pivotal IDE study and who still have the device implanted will continue to be followed for 5 years post activation

Device: Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant
Subjects have already been implanted with the Nucleus Hybrid L24 implant. |
- Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) Word Recognition in Quiet: Percentage of Total Words Correctly Recognized. [ Time Frame: 5 years postactivation. ]The CNC Words test consists of 10 recorded lists of 50 monosyllabic words in compact disk format. For this study, two lists were administered in quiet at a level equal to 60 dBA (decibels A-weighted) in the sound field and scored as total number of words correct, which will be expressed as a percentage correct. Minimum score is 0/100 words or 0% (worse), maximum score is 100/100 or 100% (best possible).
- AzBio (Arizona Biomedical Institute) Sentence Recognition in Noise: Percentage of Total Words Correctly Recognized. [ Time Frame: 5 years postactivation. ]The AzBio Sentence Test consists of 15 lists of 20 sentences each. AzBio sentences are spoken by different talkers in a conversational style with limited contextual cues that the listener can use to predict or 'fill in' unintelligible words. Each list includes 5 sentences from 4 different male and female speakers. Each word in the sentence counts towards the overall score. Minimum score is 0 out the total number of words in a given list (varies list to list, with an average length of 141 words) words or 0% (worse), maximum score is all words correctly repeated or 100% (best possible).
