Recruiting studies
- NCT05572073Recruiting
Study of otoferlin hearing loss over time
This study follows people with hearing loss caused by changes (mutations) in the otoferlin gene to better understand how hearing and hearing-related test results change over time. It may help researchers prepare for future treatments by building a clear picture of the natural course of the condition.
Iowa City, IowaAges Up to 44 years - NCT06100393Recruiting
New sound processing for better hearing in cochlear implant users
This trial tests new sound-processing software in cochlear implants to help users hear speech better in noisy places. It may help adult implant users who struggle with conversations in background noise.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07417956Recruiting
Measuring reflex in cochlear implant for kids
This study tests a new way to program cochlear implants in children by measuring a tiny muscle reflex in the ear. This could help doctors set the sound levels more accurately without needing the child to respond.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges birth–7 years - NCT06465979Recruiting
How do people with hearing loss understand speech in different settings?
This study looks at how people with healthy hearing or hearing loss understand speech in different listening environments. You might join if you have normal hearing, mild hearing loss, or use a cochlear implant, and are a competent adult English speaker.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT06453343Recruiting
Comparing two surgical approaches for cochlear implants
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a cochlear implant (a device that helps with hearing). It is for adults who have lost hearing after learning to speak and are eligible for a specific type of implant. The goal is to see which approach works best.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT05215197Recruiting
Platelet-rich fibrin placed during cochlear implant surgery
This trial studies whether applying a special healing material during cochlear implant surgery improves outcomes for people with nerve-based hearing loss. You might be eligible if you need a cochlear implant using a specific electrode and do not have certain inner-ear conditions.
DenizliAges Any age - NCT05110183Enrolling by invitation
Bionic ear implant surgery for certain inner-ear nerve tumors
This study looks at a special “opto-electrical” cochlear implant for people who need a specific type of tumor-removal surgery near the facial nerve and hearing structures. It may help restore hearing in people whose hearing is already severely reduced and who meet the tumor and hearing-size criteria.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18–89 - NCT05788536RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy study for OTOF-related hearing loss
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy delivered into the ear to improve hearing in people with certain OTOF gene changes. It studies safety and how well the treatment can work, especially in children and infants, as doctors monitor hearing tests for up to 48 weeks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06723262Recruiting
Testing a new sound tuning for cochlear implant users
This trial studies a new way to adjust a cochlear implant's sound settings based on how the ear naturally processes pitches. It may help improve speech understanding over 6 months compared to standard settings.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT04733950Recruiting
Test how much effort listening takes with cochlear implants
This study measures how your brain and eyes respond when you listen and focus on sounds. It compares people using a cochlear implant with people who have normal hearing, to understand listening effort and attention.
ParisAges 18–80 - NCT06805175Recruiting
Balance implant study for adults with dizziness
This study tests a new device that may help restore balance for people with long-term dizziness from inner ear problems. The implant is placed surgically to stimulate the balance nerve.
Antwerp, WilrijkAges 18 years+ - NCT05962359Recruiting
Personalized coaching for language in young children with hearing loss
This trial tests a language program designed for young children with hearing loss who are getting cochlear implants. It aims to improve how well children understand and use spoken language, by using a “prediction” approach to tailor support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges birth–5 years - NCT04915183RecruitingPhase 2
Atorvastatin to help prevent cisplatin-related hearing loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine called atorvastatin can protect hearing in people with head and neck cancer receiving cisplatin plus radiation. If it works, it may reduce the chance or severity of treatment-related hearing damage.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–100 - NCT06607146Recruiting
Computer training to improve hearing after cochlear implant
This study tests whether practicing listening exercises on a computer can help adults who just got a cochlear implant understand speech better and feel more satisfied with their hearing. If you are getting a cochlear implant at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, you might be able to join.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05402813Recruiting
Study of hearing loss in children with GJB2 or OTOF gene changes
This study follows children with hearing loss caused by changes in specific genes (GJB2 or OTOF). It helps researchers understand how hearing develops over time and how children may do with or without cochlear implants.
ParisAges Up to 16 years - NCT06248398Recruiting
Robot-assisted cochlear implant and hearing in noise
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery improves how well you hear speech in noisy environments. If you have severe hearing loss in both ears and are a candidate for a cochlear implant, this study may help show if the robotic method leads to better hearing outcomes.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05898659Recruiting
Tested new cochlear fitting with or without sound timing sync
This study compares two ways of setting up a cochlear implant to deliver sound, either with or without synchronized timing. It may help improve how well French-speaking adults with newer hearing loss can hear everyday sounds.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07252492Recruiting
Testing a new hearing device for people with hearing loss
This study tests a new hearing device called 'Audiocap' to see if it helps people with mild to moderate hearing loss hear better. It may be an option if you are getting your first hearing aid.
Lyon, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06743295Recruiting
AI noise reduction in Phonak hearing aids
This study tests a new AI feature in Phonak hearing aids to reduce background noise. It may help people with hearing loss, whether or not they already use hearing aids, and even those with one cochlear implant.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–110 - NCT06098482Recruiting
Testing speech understanding with a mobile app for hearing device users
This study uses a smartphone app to test how well adults who use hearing aids or cochlear implants can understand speech. It aims to see if the app is a reliable way to measure hearing performance, which could make future check-ups easier and more convenient.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06237790Recruiting
Gene therapy versus cochlear implants for congenital hearing loss
This study looks at how well gene therapy or cochlear implants help restore hearing in people with severe hearing loss from birth. It compares the outcomes of these two treatments to see which is more effective.
