Hearing Outcomes With the Osia 3 Sound Processor Compared to the Osia 2 Sound Processor in Adult Osia Implant Recipients

United States, Australia29 participantsStarted 2025-09-09

Plain-language summary

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the clinical performance and sound quality of the Osia 3 Sound Processor and to demonstrate its superiority compared with the Osia 2 Sound Processor in adults with mixed hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do the findings confirm the clinical performance of the Osia 3 Sound Processor? * Is the Osia 3 Sound Processor superior compared to the Osia 2 Sound Processor? Participants will: * Undergo speech performance testing in both quiet and noisy environments * Provide ratings for a self-reported questionnaire

Inclusion Criteria: * Implanted with a Cochlear Osia Implant (OSI100, OSI200, OSI300) * Conductive or mixed hearing loss in the implanted ear. Bone conduction thresholds up to 65 dB HL (up to 40 dB HL at 0.5 kHz, up to 55 dB HL at 1kHz and up to 65 dB HL at 2 and 4 kHz) or Single-Sided Deafness in the implanted ear. The pure tone average air conduction hearing thresholds of the hearing ear should be better than or equal to 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and, 3 kHz). * Aged 18 years or older, at time of consent. * Minimum experience of 1 month with the Osia 2 Sound Processor. * Fluent speaker in the language used to assess speech perception performance. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Ongoing infection at or around the sound processor area. * Bilaterally implanted with a Cochlear Osia Implant. * Unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the clinical investigation as determined by the Investigator. * Use of ototoxic drugs that could be harmful to the hearing, as judged by the investigator. * Investigator site personnel directly affiliated with this study and/or their immediate families; immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child, or sibling. * Cochlear employees or employees of Contract Research Organisations or contractors engaged by Cochlear for the purposes of this investigation. * Current participation, or participation in another interventional clinical study/trial in the past 30 days, involving an …

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Mean difference in speech reception threshold in noise with the Osia 3 Sound Processor, 1-2 weeks after fitting compared to the unaided condition at baseline

Timeframe: At Baseline (Day 0), Visit 1 (7-14 days after Baseline), and Visit 2 (7-14 days after Visit 1)
