Five patients who received the 3M/Vienna extracochlear implant were given a standard battery of tests before and after implantation. Pure-tone audiograms, hearing aid evaluation, and promontory threshold and dynamic range stimulation were conducted to evaluate implant candidacy and to determine whether a particular patient met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Speech reading tests were also given before implantation. Postimplantation testing consisted of thresholds and tolerance levels for pure tones and speech reading with and without acoustic stimulation. Tests on environmental sounds, speech discrimination, and word discrimination were scored. Minimal Auditory Capabilities (MAC) Battery scores were determined on MAC, I, II, IV, V, VII, VIII, and XII subtests over several time intervals (sessions). The hearing results varied greatly among patients. All five patients expressed satisfaction and are presently wearing their units.
五名接受3M/维也纳人工耳蜗植入的患者在植入前后接受了一系列标准测试。进行了纯音听力图、助听器评估、岬阈值和动态范围刺激测试，以评估植入候选资格，并确定特定患者是否符合纳入研究的标准。植入前还进行了唇读测试。植入后测试包括有无声刺激时的纯音阈值和耐受水平以及唇读测试。对环境声音、言语辨别和单词辨别测试进行了评分。在几个时间间隔（阶段）内，根据最小听觉能力（MAC）电池测试的MAC、I、II、IV、V、VII、VIII和XII子测试确定分数。患者的听力结果差异很大。所有五名患者均表示满意，目前都戴着他们的植入装置。
