Summary
A methodical evaluation of novel sound changing principles in CE-labelled Sonova brand
hearing instruments (e.g. Phonak hearing instruments) is intended to be conducted on hearing
impaired participants. These sound changing principles are enabled by respective hearing
instrument technologies and hearing instrument algorithms. The aim of the study is to
investigate and asses strength and weaknesses of these novel sound changing principles in
terms of hearing performance to determine their application in hearing instruments (Phase of
development). Both, objective laboratory measurements as well as subjective evaluations in
real life environment will be carried out. This will be a controlled, single blinded and
randomised active comparator clinical evaluation which will be conducted mono centric at
Sonova AG Headquarter based in Stäfa
