Key Points

  • This research aims to compare the effectiveness of remote cochlear implant programming to traditional in-clinic visits in terms of speech perception and patient satisfaction.
  • Comparison of remote fittings to standard approaches during rehabilitation.
  • Assessment of speech perception outcomes post-implant.
  • Evaluation of patient satisfaction through surveys.
  • Remote fittings are not inferior to in-clinic fittings for speech perception outcomes.
  • High levels of patient satisfaction were reported for remote programming.

Abstract

Replacing one rehabilitation appointment with a remote fitting is non-inferior to standard in-clinic fitting for speech perception outcomes. Most patients reported high satisfaction, supporting its feasibility and accessibility.
