Abstract

Objectives: Compare two remote programming methods as a clinical service for user satisfaction, ease of use, preparation time and accessibility.

Method: Method 1 (Portable Laptop): A 'Programming Kit' including laptop was shipped to cochlear implant users' homes (N = 20). The audiologist at the implant center used remote desktop control of this laptop to adjust subjects' speech processors. Method 2 (Remote Hosted Site): Eight distant clinics were recruited as host sites to house cochlear implant programming hardware and software so that CI users (N = 19) could attend their facility. The audiologist at the implant center used remote desktop control of the host sites' computers to adjust the subjects' CI speech processors. All parties were asked to fill out a questionnaire following their remote session.

Results: Remote hosted site method was rated higher for ease of use by the Remote Experts (12/15, 80%), compared to portable laptop method (11/19, 57.9%) and is more accessible to CI users of all levels of computer abilities while requiring less preparation time per session.

Conclusion: Remote hosted site method is an easier, more efficient method of remote programming as a clinical service delivery method compared to the Portable Laptop.

比较使用两种方法对人工耳蜗进行远程编程：便携式笔记本电脑和远程托管站点。

目的比较两种远程编程方法作为临床服务的用户满意度、易用性、准备时间和可及性：方法 1（便携式笔记本电脑）：将包括笔记本电脑在内的 "编程套件 "运送到人工耳蜗用户家中（20 人）。植入中心的听力学家使用该笔记本电脑的远程桌面控制来调整受试者的语音处理器。方法 2（远程托管站点）：我们招募了八家距离较远的诊所作为托管站点，为人工耳蜗用户（N = 19）提供人工耳蜗编程硬件和软件。植入中心的听力学家使用远程桌面控制主机站点的计算机来调整受试者的 CI 语音处理器。所有受试者都被要求在远程会话后填写一份调查问卷：与便携式笔记本电脑方法（11/19，57.9%）相比，远程托管站点方法在易用性方面得到了远程专家更高的评价（12/15，80%），而且更容易被各种计算机能力水平的 CI 用户使用，同时每次会话所需的准备时间更少：结论：与便携式笔记本电脑相比，远程托管站点法是一种更简单、更高效的远程编程方法，也是一种临床服务提供方法。

期刊介绍： Cochlear Implants International was founded as an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in response to the growing number of publications in the field of cochlear implants. It was designed to meet a need to include scientific contributions from all the disciplines that are represented in cochlear implant teams: audiology, medicine and surgery, speech therapy and speech pathology, psychology, hearing therapy, radiology, pathology, engineering and acoustics, teaching, and communication. The aim was to found a truly interdisciplinary journal, representing the full breadth of the field of cochlear implantation.
