Resumo
Objective: To identify the technological contributions of the newer version of speech processor to the first generation of multichannel cochlear implant and the satisfaction of users of the new technology. Among the new features available, we focused on the effect of the frequency allocation table, the T-SPL and C-SPL, and the preprocessing gain adjustments (adaptive dynamic range optimization). Study Design: Prospective exploratory study. Setting: Cochlear implant center at hospital. Patients: Cochlear implant users of the Spectra processor with speech recognition in closed set. Seventeen patients were selected between the ages of 15 and 82 and deployed for more than 8 years. Interventions: The technology update of the speech processor for the Nucleus 22. Main Outcome Measures: To determine Freedom's contribution, thresholds and speech perception tests were performed with the last map used with the Spectra and the maps created for Freedom. To identify the effect of the frequency allocation table, both upgraded and converted maps were programmed. One map was programmed with 25dB T-SPL and 65dB C-SPL and the other map with adaptive dynamic range optimization. To assess satisfaction, SADL and APHAB were used. Results: All speech perception tests and all sound field thresholds were statistically better with the new speech processor; 64.7% of patients preferred maintaining the same frequency table that was suggested for the older processor. The sound field threshold was statistically significant at 500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 Hz with 25dB T-SPL/65dB C-SPL. Regarding patient's satisfaction, there was a statistically significant improvement, only in the subscale of speech in noise abilities and phone use. Conclusion: The new technology improved the performance of patients with the first generation of multichannel cochlear implant.
