Recruiting studies
- NCT06894303Recruiting

ParisAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07230236Recruiting
Hidden hearing loss: brain waves and speech in noise
This study explores a possible condition called 'hidden hearing loss' – where you struggle to hear in noisy situations despite passing a standard hearing test. It uses a special brain-wave test (LS Chirp ABR) to see if there is a link between your brain's response and how well you understand speech in noise.
IstanbulAges 20–60 - NCT07287124Recruiting
New fully implantable cochlear implant for severe hearing loss
This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely placed under the skin, with no external parts. It is for adults with severe hearing loss who still struggle to hear even with hearing aids.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06305039Enrolling by invitation
Better hearing with two cochlear implants
This study tests how well people with two cochlear implants (or one cochlear implant and one hearing ear) can hear in complex, noisy settings. It aims to improve how these devices help in everyday listening situations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT05554692Enrolling by invitation
Study how aging and cochlear implants affect speech timing
This study looks at how the brain processes the timing of sounds and speech in people with cochlear implants and in people with typical hearing. It may help researchers understand what changes with age and how implant hearing works in the real world.
College Park, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT07024524Recruiting
Hearing evaluation and rehab system for congenital hearing loss
This study is developing a system to evaluate and improve hearing for people with congenital hearing loss. It compares participants who have hearing loss (and have used hearing aids, cochlear implants, or gene therapy) with healthy controls, to better understand and treat hearing challenges.
ShanghaiAges 1–35 - NCT05821959RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for hearing loss caused by otoferlin gene changes
This early-stage study tests a one-time gene therapy to help patients with profound hearing loss linked to otoferlin gene mutations. It may help hearing by delivering a working version of the otoferlin gene to the inner ear, followed by long-term monitoring.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06580847Recruiting
Choir for older adults with untreated hearing loss
This trial tests whether joining a choir helps older adults with untreated hearing loss. If you have mild-to-moderate hearing loss and do not use hearing aids, this study may be a good fit for you.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06400992Recruiting
Testing Sky hearing technology in children
This study is testing the Sky CI sound processor in children aged 6–16 who use cochlear implants and/or hearing aids. The goal is to see how well the Sky technology works for hearing in noise.
ParisAges 6–16 - NCT06960616Recruiting
Fewer follow-ups after cochlear implant using a new mapping strategy
This study tests a new way to schedule follow-up visits after you get a cochlear implant. Instead of many routine check-ups, your device may be set using a special mapping strategy, which could save time and still keep your hearing working well.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT07146841Recruiting
Preserving hearing during cochlear implant surgery
This study tests a surgical technique designed to preserve as much natural hearing as possible during cochlear implant surgery. It is for people with severe hearing loss who choose an Advanced Bionics implant and are comfortable speaking Dutch.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07703800Recruiting
Testing a better sound fitting for single-sided deaf cochlear implant users
This study tests if a cochlear implant fitting based on your ear's anatomy helps you hear speech in noisy places and enjoy music more. It is for people who are deaf in one ear and use a MED-EL cochlear implant.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05451628Recruiting
Personalized Sound Processor Tuning for New Cochlear Implant Users
This study tests a personalized way to program your cochlear implant sound processor based on your unique ear anatomy. It's for adults who have recently received a MED-EL implant and haven't turned it on yet.

Gene therapy for GJB2-related hearing loss in young children
This study tests an experimental gene therapy (SKY-GJB2) designed to treat hearing loss caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene. The therapy is given directly to children ages 9 months to 7 years who have significant bilateral hearing loss, and researchers will monitor safety and whether hearing improves.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 9 months–7 years - NCT07637981RecruitingPhase 2
Safety Study of DX243 for Hearing Loss in Noise
This study tests a new medicine (DX243) to see if it is safe and well-tolerated in people with hearing difficulties, especially trouble hearing speech in noisy environments. The goal is to understand how the body processes this medicine and whether it might help improve hearing.
