Recruiting studies
- NCT05360212Recruiting
Fitting a new cochlear implant sound processor using CT anatomy

Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05319678Recruiting
Music and voice testing in cochlear implant users
This study looks at how well cochlear implant users do musical and voice skills, including children and adults who use one or two implants. You might benefit by helping researchers understand how these skills develop and how devices work over time.
Madrid, MadridAges 6 years+ - NCT07114744Recruiting
Early cochlear implant use trial
This trial studies how well people new to cochlear implants understand speech over time. It may help you if you have severe hearing loss and are about to get a cochlear implant for the first time.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT07262827Recruiting
Testing low energy audio streaming in new cochlear implant processors
This study tests new low-energy audio streaming features in two Cochlear sound processors (Nucleus 8 and Kanso 3). It looks at whether experienced cochlear implant users can accept and benefit from this feature in daily listening situations.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 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 - NCT07564388Enrolling by invitation
Predicting How Well Cochlear Implants Will Work for You
This research study tests whether certain thinking and hearing skills can predict how much benefit you'll get from a cochlear implant (a device that helps deaf or hard-of-hearing people hear). If you qualify, you'll take some tests that measure how your brain processes sound and language.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 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+ - NCT05805384Recruiting
Testing a noise-reduction program for cochlear implant users
This trial checks how well a computer “noise reduction” algorithm works for people who use cochlear implants. It may help make speech easier to understand in noisy settings.
New York, New YorkAges 12 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT06782308Recruiting
Tinnitus patient preferences survey
This study surveys adults with chronic, bothersome tinnitus to understand their treatment preferences. If you have had tinnitus for three months or longer, your input could help shape future therapies.
New York, New YorkAges 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 - 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 - NCT05810220Recruiting
Study how cochlear and auditory brain implants process sound
This study looks at how well sound signals are processed in people who use cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants. Researchers may learn more about hearing and how the devices work, using lab-based listening tasks and brain/signal measurements.
New York, New YorkAges 2–90 - 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+ - NCT05808543Recruiting
BEARS training to improve hearing skills in teens with two implants
This study tests a structured training program (BEARS) designed to help children and teenagers who use cochlear implants in both ears hear better in everyday life. It aims to improve hearing abilities by building on your implant settings and usual care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cochlear implant users?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting cochlear implant users 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 implant users 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 implant users 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.
