We’re tracking 11 recruiting hearing loss, sensorineural studies with a site in Iowa — including Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Iowa
- 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.
Iowa City, IowaAges 5 years+ - NCT05572073Recruiting
Study of otoferlin hearing loss over time
This study follows people with hearing loss caused by changes (mutations) in the otoferlin gene to better understand how hearing and hearing-related test results change over time. It may help researchers prepare for future treatments by building a clear picture of the natural course of the condition.
Iowa City, IowaAges Up to 44 years - NCT05821959RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for hearing loss caused by otoferlin gene changes
This early-stage study tests a one-time gene therapy to help patients with profound hearing loss linked to otoferlin gene mutations. It may help hearing by delivering a working version of the otoferlin gene to the inner ear, followed by long-term monitoring.

Barriers and helpers to using OTC hearing aids
This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for adults to successfully use over-the-counter hearing aids. It focuses on people who have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears and have never tried a hearing aid.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–89 - 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.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT06936449Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of a cochlear implant that releases medicine
This study is checking how well a cochlear implant that slowly releases a medicine (dexamethasone) to reduce swelling works over a long time. It is for people who already took part in the main study for this implant.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06734039Enrolling by invitation
Early Performance with Anatomy-Based Cochlear Implant Programming
This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06664710Recruiting
Robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery with hearing monitoring
This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12 years+ - 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.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05318417Recruiting
Cochlear implant study for one-sided deafness
This study checks whether cochlear implantation is safe and effective for people who have very poor hearing in one ear (single-sided deafness) while the other ear hears normally or nearly normally. You may be enrolled if you meet specific hearing test and health/surgery readiness requirements.
Iowa City, IowaAges 5 years+ - NCT06340633RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SPI-1005 with cochlear implant surgery
This trial tests an oral medication, SPI-1005, given to adults receiving a cochlear implant to see if it improves hearing outcomes. It may help people with moderate to profound hearing loss who are scheduled for implant surgery.

What taking part in a hearing loss, sensorineural study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Are there hearing loss, sensorineural clinical trials in Iowa?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting hearing loss, sensorineural studies with a site in Iowa, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a hearing loss, sensorineural study in Iowa?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Iowa to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Iowa, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
