Recruiting studies
- NCT06729632Recruiting
Cooling device to protect ears from noise damage
This trial tests a non-invasive device that cools the ears to prevent hearing loss from loud noise. It is for adults aged 18-55 with normal hearing who are at risk for noise-induced hearing loss, such as firefighters.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–55 - 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 - NCT04506853Recruiting
Cochlear implant study for one-sided severe hearing loss
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 5 years+ - NCT04707885Recruiting
Testing how much residual hearing helps with cochlear implants
This study looks at whether keeping some natural (residual) hearing in the implant ear can improve outcomes with a cochlear implant. If you fit their hearing and implant-device requirements, they’ll measure your hearing before and after implantation to see how well you can use that remaining hearing.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–79 - NCT05107466Recruiting
Tests brain responses in adults with hearing loss
This study measures how your brain reacts to sounds and visual information. It may help researchers better understand brain function changes that can happen with hearing loss and how to assess them.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05474963Recruiting
Trial for sudden hearing loss within days
This trial is for adults who develop sudden hearing loss over a very short time window, confirmed by a hearing test. It aims to study the sudden hearing loss condition and whether the study approach can help people recover hearing.
Wŏnju, Gangwon-doAges 20–100 - NCT05694039Recruiting
Track thinking changes in older adults with hearing loss
This study follows older adults who have age-related hearing loss to see whether wearing hearing aids helps protect thinking and memory over time. You may be included if your hearing loss is the type that hearing aids can usually improve and if your thinking test scores suggest mild cognitive difficulties.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 60–85 - NCT05775367Recruiting
Cochlear implants for young children with one-sided deafness
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 7 months–5.9 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.
Birmingham, BirminghamAges 8–16 - NCT06058767Recruiting
Hearing screening for preschoolers
This study offers a free hearing screening for children aged 2 to 6 who attend a community preschool. The goal is to find any hearing issues early so children can get the help they need.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–6 - NCT06174038Recruiting
Hearing aids for memory and hearing loss study
This study tests whether hearing aids can help people with both hearing loss and early memory problems. It lasts for a period of time, and you will be asked to wear hearing aids daily.
New York, New YorkAges 55–75 - NCT06641999Recruiting
Tinnitus implant study for adults with chronic tinnitus and hearing loss
This trial tests if a special implant can reduce tinnitus loudness in adults who have had chronic tinnitus for at least 6 months and have some hearing loss. You may qualify if your tinnitus is severe and not helped by standard treatments like hearing aids or therapy.
Edegem, BelgiumAges 18 years+ - NCT06722170Recruiting
Gene therapy study for hearing loss caused by OTOF gene mutation
This trial tests a gene therapy called EH002 for people with severe or profound hearing loss due to changes in the OTOF gene. The treatment aims to help the ear hear better by replacing the faulty gene.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 6 months+ - NCT06781749Recruiting
Measuring social engagement in older adults with hearing loss
This study tests a new way to objectively measure how socially engaged older adults with hearing loss are. It may help researchers better understand the impact of hearing loss on social participation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06882889Recruiting
Comparing domestic vs imported hearing aids for age-related hearing loss
This trial compares two types of hearing aids (one made in China, one imported) to see which works better for age-related hearing loss. You might benefit if you have moderate to severe hearing loss and are willing to test both devices.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 60–85 - 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 - NCT07226167Recruiting
Hearing aid benefit in noisy places
This study tests how well hearing aids help people hear in real-world noisy environments. If you already use hearing aids and have hearing loss in both ears that started after childhood, this trial may help understand how to improve your experience.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07228845Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs. standard ear tips for hearing loss
This study tests whether a custom 3D-printed ear tip is more comfortable than a regular one for people with hearing loss. If you wear hearing aids or are considering them, this could help make the fit better.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–89 - NCT07304024RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a drug and sound therapy for age-related hearing difficulty
This trial tests whether a combination of an antihistamine (clemastine fumarate) and specially designed sounds can improve how the brain processes hearing in middle-aged adults with mild hearing loss. It might help if you have trouble understanding speech in noisy settings.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 45–65 - 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 - NCT07505667Recruiting
Yiyuancong for sudden hearing loss
This trial tests a medicine called Yiyuancong for people who recently lost hearing in one ear suddenly. If you are between 18 and 60 years old and your hearing loss started within the last 3 days, this study may be an option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–60 - NCT07472023Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
