Recruiting studies
- NCT05670496Recruiting
NIDCD medical data and sample collection for communication disorders
This study collects medical information and specimens to support research on problems with hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. It may help you (or your child) get additional evaluation and follow-up through NIDCD, especially if your clinician thinks it could be useful.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT00341874Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study of deafness in Pakistani families
This study looks at genetic causes of deafness by comparing affected and unaffected family members. It may help researchers understand why some people are born or develop deafness and guide future diagnosis for families in Pakistan.
LahoreAges 2 years+ - NCT07416292Recruiting
Hearing and hard-of-hearing teen study
This study looks at how hearing loss affects teenagers' language and thinking skills. It compares teens with hearing loss to those with typical hearing to better understand listening and development.
HelsinkiAges 11–16 - NCT04673565Enrolling by invitation
Coaching new hearing-aid users to use them more
This study tests whether motivational interviewing (a supportive coaching conversation) can help people who are new to hearing aids wear and use them more successfully. It uses online questionnaires to understand hearing-aid use and comfort.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06303180Recruiting
Collecting tissue and fluid samples for ear, nose, and throat research
This study collects samples like tissue, blood, or saliva from people with hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language problems, as well as from healthy volunteers. The samples help researchers better understand these conditions and develop new ways to diagnose or treat them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT04501081Recruiting
Studying how inherited hearing loss changes over time
This study follows people and families with autosomal dominant inherited hearing loss to better understand how it progresses. It may help researchers learn what to expect over time and guide future treatment planning.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT04806282Recruiting
Study to track hearing instability and find helpful targets
This study follows adults with hearing instability to better understand what causes it, measure it in new ways, and look for potential treatment targets. If you qualify, you may get hearing and balance-related testing (including scans) over a period of time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT01629108Recruiting
Hearing and balance test study for healthy volunteers
This study measures normal (expected) results from hearing and balance tests in healthy people. It may help researchers and clinics better understand what “normal” looks like so future patients’ test results can be interpreted more accurately.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–80 - 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 - NCT06039332Recruiting
Comparing ways to fit a bone conduction implant
This study compares two ways to adjust a BONEBRIDGE bone conduction implant for people with hearing loss. It aims to find which fitting strategy gives better sound quality and daily benefit.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07568184Recruiting
New Exosome Treatment for Sudden Hearing Loss
This trial tests a new way to deliver anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the ear using tiny particle carriers called exosomes. It's designed for people who lost hearing suddenly without a clear cause and didn't improve with standard steroid pills.
Kafr ash Shaykh, EgyptAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hearing disorders and deafness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting hearing disorders and deafness 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 hearing disorders and deafness 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 hearing disorders and deafness 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.
