Overview

MED-EL Remote Care is a way for MED-EL cochlear implant users to check their hearing and cochlear implant device from any location, without the need for a scheduled, in-person appointment with their audiologist. This study will assess the effectiveness, efficiencies, and useability of MED-EL Remote Care.

Description

This prospective multicenter study will include MED-EL cochlear implant users from the US and Canada. This study will assess the effectiveness, efficiencies, and useability of MED-EL Remote Care.
