Recruiting studies
- NCT05694039Recruiting
Track thinking changes in older adults with hearing loss
This study follows older adults who have age-related hearing loss to see whether wearing hearing aids helps protect thinking and memory over time. You may be included if your hearing loss is the type that hearing aids can usually improve and if your thinking test scores suggest mild cognitive difficulties.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 60–85 - NCT07860580Recruiting
Blood markers in children with congenital hearing loss
This study looks at certain substances in the blood of children with congenital hearing loss (hearing loss present from birth) to see if they are different from children with normal hearing. It may help doctors understand why hearing loss happens and could lead to better treatments.
SanliurfaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05670158Recruiting
Testing blood immune markers after cochlear implantation
This study compares blood and fluid-related immune “profiles” after cochlear implant surgery versus another ear/middle-ear surgery group. It aims to learn which immune signals may be linked to hearing outcomes and recovery after implantation.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07765186Recruiting
How sound and attention affect hearing with cochlear implants
This study tests how people focus on sounds in noisy situations, comparing those with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants. It aims to better understand how the brain processes sound, which could improve hearing technology.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT07691853Recruiting
Custom hearing fitting for cochlear implant users with a hearing aid in the other ear
This study tests a new way to adjust the settings on your cochlear implant and hearing aid together. The goal is to improve your hearing by using the natural structure of your ear, which might help you hear better in everyday situations.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06664697Recruiting
Study of the IotaSOFT Insertion System for cochlear implants
This trial tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 12 years+ - NCT07509788Recruiting
Studying hearing with two ears in kids with cochlear implants
This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6–18 - NCT07472023Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Stem cell therapy for hearing loss and tinnitus
This trial tests a regenerative stem cell treatment for people with hearing loss, tinnitus, or inner ear injury. It aims to see if the therapy can improve hearing or reduce symptoms.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07380269Recruiting
Long-term study of cochlear implant outcomes
This study follows people who get a cochlear implant – a device that helps restore hearing. It tracks how well you hear over time and checks for any long-term benefits or problems.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07356128Recruiting
How people with cochlear implants and hearing aids understand sound
This study tests how well children and adults can use sound from both ears when they have a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (or a special device that combines both). It looks at how your brain makes sense of sounds to help improve hearing and speech understanding.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 5 years+ - NCT07287774Recruiting
Testing a new noise-reduction feature for hearing aids
This trial is testing a new computer program that helps hearing aids reduce background noise. It might make it easier for people with mild to moderate hearing loss to hear in noisy places.
West Lafayette, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06664710Recruiting
Robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery with hearing monitoring
This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT07130136Recruiting
Switching from Baha Connect to Osia for bone conduction implant users
This study is for people who already have a Baha Connect bone conduction hearing implant but are having problems with it, like skin irritation. It tests switching to a newer device called Osia, which may work better for them.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07039435Recruiting
Perceptual adaptation after cochlear implant
This study looks at how people adapt to hearing with a cochlear implant. It's for adults who are getting one implant in one ear while the other ear has normal or near-normal hearing.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07011927Recruiting
Testing a new electrode placement during cochlear implant surgery
This study is testing a safe way to place an extra electrode near a nerve in your ear during cochlear implant surgery. The goal is to see if this can improve hearing outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06936449Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of a cochlear implant that releases medicine
This study is checking how well a cochlear implant that slowly releases a medicine (dexamethasone) to reduce swelling works over a long time. It is for people who already took part in the main study for this implant.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06930170Recruiting
Cochlear implant for children with hearing loss in one ear
This trial tests whether a cochlear implant helps children aged 4 to 6 years who have hearing loss in only one ear (or one ear with severe loss and the other with mild loss) improve their hearing and communication. The device is surgically placed in the ear with worse hearing.
ParisAges 4–6 - NCT06894303Recruiting
Remote programming for cochlear implants in routine follow-up
This study tests if cochlear implants can be adjusted remotely (without visiting the clinic) during regular follow-ups. If you have a compatible implant and sound processor, you may be able to take part from home.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04708717Recruiting
Testing brain training for people with cochlear implants
This study focuses on people who already use cochlear implants and tests a way to improve how the brain processes sound timing. If you’re an adult cochlear implant user, you may be able to join and help researchers understand what works best for hearing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860152Recruiting
Improving speech understanding in noise with cochlear implants
This study tests how well people with cochlear implants can understand speech in noisy situations, compared to those with normal hearing. It involves a special imaging scan to see how the brain processes sound, which may help improve future implant technology.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06722170Recruiting
Gene therapy study for hearing loss caused by OTOF gene mutation
This trial tests a gene therapy called EH002 for people with severe or profound hearing loss due to changes in the OTOF gene. The treatment aims to help the ear hear better by replacing the faulty gene.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 6 months+ - NCT06734039Enrolling by invitation
Early Performance with Anatomy-Based Cochlear Implant Programming
This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06641999Recruiting
Tinnitus implant study for adults with chronic tinnitus and hearing loss
This trial tests if a special implant can reduce tinnitus loudness in adults who have had chronic tinnitus for at least 6 months and have some hearing loss. You may qualify if your tinnitus is severe and not helped by standard treatments like hearing aids or therapy.
Edegem, BelgiumAges 18 years+ - NCT06516575Recruiting
Listening effort in cochlear implant users
This study measures how much effort it takes to listen and understand speech for adults with cochlear implants compared to those with normal hearing. It can help researchers learn how to improve hearing outcomes.
