Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long Term Safety of the Sonitus SoundBite System (NCT NCT01108406)

NCT ID: NCT01108406

Last Updated: 2014-10-20

Results Overview

The safety outcomes were defined as no changes in medical, auditory, or dental status and no device or procedure related adverse events during the study period. Safety was evaluated by conducting a Comprehensive Medical evaluation at Enrollment and at study termination; Comprehensive Dental evaluation at Enrollment and at 3 and 6 months, with interim dental checks in between if necessary and Comprehensive Audiological evaluation at Enrollment and at 6 months.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The safety outcomes were defined as no changes in medical, auditory, or dental status and no device or procedure related adverse events during the study period. Safety was evaluated by conducting a Comprehensive Medical evaluation at Enrollment and at study termination; Comprehensive Dental evaluation at Enrollment and at 3 and 6 months, with interim dental checks in between if necessary and Comprehensive Audiological evaluation at Enrollment and at 6 months.

Outcome measures

Measure
Number of Participants Experiencing no Adverse Events
n=22 Participants
Safety was measured in terms of dental, audiological and medical adverse events related to device or procedure. Dental measurements included periodontal measurements (bone loss, oral health, bleeding index, calculus, peridontal probing) at baseline compared to 6 months. Audiological included hearing evaluation and aided thresholds baseline compared to 6 months and medical compared medical and ear health baseline compared to 6 months.
Global Benefit APHAB Score Aided 6 Months
The Global Benefit APHAB at 6 months endpoint is the change in APHAB scores between the unaided score at the start of the study and the APHAB score after 6 months of therapy.The APHAB Questionnaire produces an overall Global score (GBL). The larger the APHAB benefit score the greater the benefit. A negative APHAB benefit score represents therapy resulting in a worse outcome than no therapy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months and 6 months

The measure of the benefit of the device was assessed using the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) , a 24-item self-assessment inventory in which the amount of difficulty in everyday situations is reported with larger numbers indicating more difficulty. Device benefit is calculated by subtracting the score obtained after using a device from the score obtained before using the device. Software is used to score the APHAB and results are compared from the different timepoints. The APHAB is well characterized and broadly used as a quantifiable measurement. The APHAB benefit scores can range from -99 (treatment worse than no treatment) to +99 (treatment better than no treatment).
