Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06268340Recruiting
Hearing preservation with ECochG monitoring during cochlear implant
This trial tests a new technique to help preserve your natural hearing during cochlear implant surgery. It uses a special monitoring method (ECochG) to see if the implant can be placed while keeping your remaining hearing intact.
Ghent, GentAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05962359Recruiting
Personalized coaching for language in young children with hearing loss
This trial tests a language program designed for young children with hearing loss who are getting cochlear implants. It aims to improve how well children understand and use spoken language, by using a “prediction” approach to tailor support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges birth–5 years - NCT05955469Recruiting
Test two cochlear implant sound-fitting methods
This trial compares two ways of setting up a cochlear implant for adults who need one and speak French. It may help find a fitting approach that gives clearer sound by using a “tonotopy-based” method versus a standard method.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT05821959RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy for otoferlin-related hearing loss
This trial tests a gene therapy that aims to restore hearing in people with a specific genetic form of hearing loss. The therapy is given as a one-time injection into the inner ear and may help you hear without needing a cochlear implant.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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 - 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 - NCT05554692Enrolling by invitation
Study how aging and cochlear implants affect speech timing
This study looks at how the brain processes the timing of sounds and speech in people with cochlear implants and in people with typical hearing. It may help researchers understand what changes with age and how implant hearing works in the real world.
College Park, MarylandAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT05414903Recruiting
Reading support study for children with balance/hearing loss
This study looks at how children with vestibular (balance) and/or hearing loss learn to read. It may help researchers understand what reading supports work best for children who have trouble with balance and sound processing.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 7–18 - NCT05402813Recruiting
Study of hearing loss in children with GJB2 or OTOF gene changes
This study follows children with hearing loss caused by changes in specific genes (GJB2 or OTOF). It helps researchers understand how hearing develops over time and how children may do with or without cochlear implants.
ParisAges Up to 16 years - NCT04672174Enrolling by invitation
Cognitive screening study for adults with hearing loss
This study checks how well people with hearing loss perform on thinking and memory tests (cognitive screening). It may help researchers find better ways to spot thinking changes in people with hearing loss and understand what factors are involved.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 50–90 - 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 - NCT07235488Recruiting
Integrative Medicine for Sudden Hearing Loss
This trial tests a combination of treatments (integrative medicine) for people who have just lost their hearing suddenly. It may help improve hearing recovery if started early.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT07146841Recruiting
Preserving hearing during cochlear implant surgery
This study tests a surgical technique designed to preserve as much natural hearing as possible during cochlear implant surgery. It is for people with severe hearing loss who choose an Advanced Bionics implant and are comfortable speaking Dutch.
UtrechtAges 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.
