Performance Data
The HiRes 90K™ Advantage implant with the HiFocus™ Electrode and Naída CI
processor support the HiResolution family of sound processing strategies including
HiRes, HiRes with Fidelity 120 (HiRes 120), and ClearVoice.
HiRes™ and HiRes 120™ Sound Processing
A clinical study was conducted in 50 adults implanted with a CII/HiRes 90K device
who used a Harmony processor to document the benefits of HiRes 120 and HiRes
sound processing. Performance with HiRes was assessed at the baseline visit and
compared with HiRes 120 performance after three months of listening experience.
Subsequently, subjects were refit and retested with HiRes. Results showed equivalent
mean CNC word recognition scores for the two strategies. The mean HINT sentence
perception scores in quiet and noise were significantly higher for HiRes 120 compared
to baseline with HiRes. For HINT sentences in noise, the mean scores for HiRes 120
were significantly higher than scores after subjects were refit with HiRes.
