- 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.

Hidden hearing loss: brain waves and speech in noise
This study explores a possible condition called 'hidden hearing loss' – where you struggle to hear in noisy situations despite passing a standard hearing test. It uses a special brain-wave test (LS Chirp ABR) to see if there is a link between your brain's response and how well you understand speech in noise.
IstanbulAges 20–60 - NCT06864273Recruiting
Pharmacy training to help with hearing aids in rural areas
This study trains pharmacy technicians in rural Alabama and Mississippi to help adults with mild to moderate hearing loss use over-the-counter hearing aids. It aims to improve access to hearing care in communities where it is limited.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07627971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for GJB2-related hearing loss in young children
This study tests an experimental gene therapy (SKY-GJB2) designed to treat hearing loss caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene. The therapy is given directly to children ages 9 months to 7 years who have significant bilateral hearing loss, and researchers will monitor safety and whether hearing improves.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 9 months–7 years - NCT06664697Recruiting
Study of the IotaSOFT Insertion System for cochlear implants
This trial tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 12 years+ - NCT06689865Recruiting
Hearing aid study for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss
This study tests four different ways to provide over-the-counter hearing aids to adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. It aims to find the best approach to help people hear better and improve their quality of life.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 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+ - 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+ - NCT06354010Recruiting
Study of Early-Onset Hearing Loss Related to GJB2 Gene
This study looks at hearing loss that starts in early adulthood (after age 16) and is linked to a specific gene change (GJB2). Researchers want to understand how this type of hearing loss changes over time.
Tampa, FloridaAges 30–55 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06860022Recruiting
Sentence Shaping for deaf or hard of hearing children
This trial tests a new way to help children who are deaf or hard of hearing improve their sentence writing skills. It focuses on children who use both spoken English and American Sign Language and need extra help with word order and grammar.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 9–15 - NCT07287124Recruiting
New fully implantable cochlear implant for severe hearing loss
This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely placed under the skin, with no external parts. It is for adults with severe hearing loss who still struggle to hear even with hearing aids.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07646119Recruiting
Understanding Hidden Hearing Loss in Older Adults
This study investigates 'hidden hearing loss'—a condition where people have normal standard hearing test results but still struggle to hear in difficult situations. Researchers want to understand this problem better in adults over 60 to potentially improve diagnosis and treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - 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+ - NCT07222202Recruiting
Testing flexible hearing aids for hearing loss
This study tests flexible hearing aids for people with conductive or mixed hearing loss (where sound is blocked or not transmitted well to the inner ear). It aims to see if these devices work well and are comfortable for daily use.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 6 months–80 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 - NCT06229717Recruiting
Balance and hearing study for children with hearing loss
This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
HerningAges 3–10 - NCT07298499Enrolling by invitation

Broomfield, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - 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.
