Recruiting studies
- NCT05668338Recruiting
Hearing-device registry study for MED-EL users
This is an observational study that collects information from people using MED-EL hearing devices (with or without an implant) to better understand real-world hearing care. It may help improve future planning, support, and device use for patients like you.
BochumAges Any age - NCT03745534Recruiting
Cochlear implant after Gamma Knife for vestibular schwannoma
This pilot study looks at how well cochlear implants work for hearing restoration in people who previously received Gamma Knife treatment for a tumor called vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what hearing results to expect after surgery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT04591093Recruiting
Tested deep vs shallow sound settings in cochlear implants
This study looks at how changing the “stimulation depth” (how deep the sound signals are delivered in the implant) affects hearing performance in people with cochlear implants. It may help find the best settings for improving hearing outcomes for suitable adults.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06237790Recruiting
Comparing speech understanding: gene therapy vs. cochlear implant
This study compares how well people with severe hearing loss from birth understand speech after either gene therapy (which fixes a faulty gene) or a cochlear implant (a device that helps you hear). It includes healthy people with normal hearing as a comparison group, and it aims to see which treatment works better for understanding spoken language.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 6 months+ - NCT05028972Recruiting
Improving how the emergency room supports people with hearing loss
This study looks at strategies to help people with hearing difficulties in VA emergency departments and measure how well those strategies work. You may be asked about your communication needs and then followed for outcomes during your emergency visit.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 60 years+ - NCT07447427Recruiting
Language development in kids with cochlear implants and speech therapy
This study looks at how children with cochlear implants develop language and how speech-language therapy can help. It may be a good fit for children who received a cochlear implant between 8 and 24 months old and have had follow-up care for at least two years.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 2.7 years–4 years - NCT07288580RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for children with inherited deafness
This trial tests an injection called EHT102 for children who have severe or profound hearing loss due to mutations in the Otoferlin gene. The goal is to see if the treatment can restore or improve hearing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1–17 - NCT03745560Recruiting
Test hearing testing during surgery to guide cochlear implant decisions
This study uses a special hearing test done during surgery for vestibular schwannoma to help decide what hearing treatment you need afterward. It may help guide whether a cochlear implant is a good option for hearing rehabilitation.
Vienna, AustriaAges 18–99 - NCT03996824Recruiting
Gene therapy study for certain vestibular schwannoma surgeries
This trial tests delivering gene therapy into the inner-ear hearing balance nerve cells during surgery for vestibular schwannoma. It may help by improving how the inner ear functions after tumor removal, but you must meet several specific surgery and safety requirements.
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05634356Recruiting
Study of how early speech learning changes with social input
This study looks at how infants learn speech sounds through everyday social interaction, like parent talk. It may help researchers understand what supports early speech development, including in babies with typical hearing and those with hearing loss or hearing devices.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 7 months–2 years - NCT06490237Recruiting
Studying hearing nerve signals during brain surgery
This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06737185Recruiting
Comparing two ways to set a cochlear implant
This trial tests if a new method for programming cochlear implants helps people understand speech better than the usual method. If you are an adult getting a cochlear implant, this study could help improve how you hear.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06844071Recruiting
Safety of Sentio bone conduction implant in teens
This study tests the safety and performance of the Sentio bone conduction implant (a device that helps you hear by sending sound through the skull) in teenagers aged 12 to 17. It may be an option if you have certain types of hearing loss that cannot be helped by regular hearing aids.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12–18 - NCT02310399Recruiting
Auditory brainstem implant for children without cochleae or hearing nerves
This study looks at whether an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) can help children hear sounds and develop listening/communication skills when the usual inner-ear hearing structures or hearing nerves are missing or not working. It may help some children who cannot benefit from a cochlear implant, but spoken language may not be the main outcome.
New York, New YorkAges 1.5 years–21 years - NCT07506408Recruiting
Online listening training for adults with hearing difficulties
This study tests two types of online listening exercises that may help improve how well you understand speech in noise, even for people who normally use hearing aids. You'll practice from home and researchers will check if it helps your hearing, thinking, and everyday conversations.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05870527Enrolling by invitation
Pupil changes during vagus nerve stimulation during ear surgery
This study looks at how your pupils (the black center of the eye) respond while a vagus nerve device is turned on during surgery for either a cochlear implant or a vagus nerve stimulator. It aims to better understand the eye/nerve effects of this stimulation, which may improve how such procedures are done safely.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05176561Enrolling by invitation
Brain and hearing training for older cochlear-implant users
This trial studies whether a structured auditory (hearing) and cognitive (thinking) training program can improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. It’s designed for people at a certain stage after their implant and with specific hearing and thinking test results.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT07402941Recruiting
Testing inner ear stimulation during awake ear surgery
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07279441Recruiting
Cochlear Implants and Listening Effort Study
This study looks at how much mental effort it takes for people with normal hearing or a cochlear implant to listen in different situations. Researchers want to learn how hearing and thinking work together, which could help improve cochlear implant technology.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cochlear hearing loss?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 91 recruiting cochlear hearing loss studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cochlear hearing loss trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cochlear hearing loss trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
