Cochlear Implant Remote Fitting Feasibility Study with 12 Participants

Twelve post-lingually deafened cochlear implant users participated in a study investigating remote fitting in real-life settings. The dataset, authored by Charlotte V. R. Snoeck and last updated in April 2026, includes results from four sessions per participant, assessing feasibility, acceptability, and perceived benefits. The study used a Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) and a custom post-study survey.

Use Cases

• Analyzing patient satisfaction and perceived benefits of remote clinical care based on survey results.
• Evaluating the feasibility of telemedicine interventions for assistive devices based on the study's structured sessions.
• Identifying technical and communication challenges in remote healthcare delivery based on reported drawbacks.
• Studying the stability of clinical outcomes like speech intelligibility in hybrid care pathways.

Strengths

• Study design includes four structured sessions per participant: baseline, two remote fittings, and a final evaluation.
• Results are based on responses from 12 participants, with specific satisfaction counts reported (six high satisfaction, four satisfaction).
• Includes standardized and custom assessment tools: Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) and a post-study survey.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 211.4 KB, indicating limited scope and likely containing only the study document.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific study's participant pool and methodology.
