The Harmony processor was found to be reliable, comfortable and offered a substantially increased battery life compared with the previous generation processor. No significant improvement in speech understanding with HiRes was demonstrated from objective measures, but the majority of subjects showed a clear subjective preference for the combination HiRes 120/Harmony processor.
To evaluate experience with the Harmony™ sound processor, together with the HiRes 120 strategy.
Postlingually deafened adults implanted with a CII or HiRes 90K were included and divided into three groups: (1) experienced users using the Platinum body-worn processor; (2) experienced users who had been using other processors; (3) new users with the Harmony processor from first fitting. The latter group entered a randomized crossover protocol where half were initially fitted with HiRes and half with HiRes 120. The initial strategy was used for 3 months and the alternative for a further 3 months. Speech perception tests and questionnaires were performed.
The study included 65 subjects. Implementing HiRes 120 was straightforward. The speech test group results did not show significant differences between HiRes and HiRes 120. However, the questionnaires showed significantly higher ratings for HiRes 120 in some instances. Subjects were highly satisfied with the Harmony processor.
与上一代处理器相比，Harmony处理器被发现可靠、舒适且电池续航大幅增加。客观测量未显示高分辨率（HiRes）在言语理解方面有显著改善，但大多数受试者对HiRes 120/Harmony处理器组合表现出明显的主观偏好。
评估Harmony™声音处理器与HiRes 120策略的使用体验。
纳入植入CII或HiRes 90K的语后聋成年人，并分为三组：（1）使用铂金色体佩式处理器的经验丰富用户；（2）曾使用其他处理器的经验丰富用户；（3）首次佩戴Harmony处理器的新用户。后一组进入随机交叉方案，其中一半最初佩戴HiRes，另一半佩戴HiRes 120。初始策略使用3个月，然后交替使用另外3个月。进行言语感知测试和问卷调查。
该研究纳入了65名受试者。实施HiRes 120很简单。言语测试组结果在HiRes和HiRes 120之间未显示出显著差异。然而，问卷调查在某些情况下显示HiRes 120的评分显著更高。受试者对Harmony处理器高度满意。
