Cochlear Implant Remote Fitting Feasibility Study with 12 Participants

A clinical study dataset investigates the feasibility and acceptability of remote cochlear implant programming in real-life listening environments. Twelve post-lingually deafened CI users participated in four sessions, including baseline and remote fitting visits. The dataset was authored by Charlotte V. R. Snoeck and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing patient satisfaction and perceived benefits of remote fitting based on survey results.
• Evaluating the technical stability and usability of remote fitting tools based on reported drawbacks.
• Comparing speech intelligibility outcomes across in-clinic and remote sessions as a safety check.
• Identifying key communication features for future tool design based on participant feedback.

Strengths

• Includes data from 12 participants across four distinct clinical sessions.
• Measures multiple outcomes: feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and speech intelligibility.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small at 13.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific study's participant cohort and methodology.
