SUMMARY:

"Introduction: Cochlear Implant (CI) is indicated for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss and promotes improvements in speech comprehension, well-being, and quality of life. The effectiveness of the CI depends on factors such as age, duration of auditory deprivation, and cognitive functions, and can be assessed through in-clinic audiometric tests or by using remote monitoring tools such as the Remote Check. Objective: To evaluate and characterize the auditory performance of Cochlear Implant (CI) users through Remote Check tool via mobile device. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional analytical study was carried out. Thirty-one cochlear implant users pre-lingual and postlingual participated in the study, with at least 6 months of implant use, without cognitive or intellectual changes associated with hearing loss. Remote Check was made available via the Nucleus Smart app and managed by the My Cochlear Professional platform. Participants responded to the test and data regarding Digit Triplets Test (DTT), Aided Threshold Test (ATT) and time of use were collected. Results: Comparative tests indicated significant differences in speech-in-noise levels between groups of people with post-lingual and pre-lingual hearing loss. As for the hearing thresholds, significant difference was observed at different frequencies, varying according to use. In addition, the analysis of effect size showed moderate differences in speech in noise and some frequencies, and high effect at 250Hz on left ear and device usage time for those wearing on right ear. Conclusion: Remote Check is an effective tool that can assist in describing the profile of cochlear implant users about datalogging, assessment of auditory thresholds and speech-in-noise tests."
