Study Summary

This trial is designed to study whether a computational model can accurately predict the presence of scar tissue growth around the implanted electrode array in patients who have had a cochlear implant for at least one year.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over the age of 18 who are already using cochlear implants and need to have revision surgery. It's not open to anyone under 18 or those who aren't scheduled for this type of surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new way to use CT images and device measurements to simulate how cochlear implants work in the ear, especially when scar tissue forms around them. The goal is to see if these simulations can help improve implant programming by predicting tissue growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since participants are already undergoing revision surgery, additional side effects specifically from the trial are minimal. However, typical risks associated with cochlear implant surgeries may include infection, bleeding, or damage to nearby structures.
