Recruiting studies
- NCT06355102Enrolling by invitation
Study of tinnitus after sudden hearing loss using brain scans
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and blood tests to understand why some people with sudden hearing loss develop tinnitus (ringing in the ears) while others do not. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat tinnitus.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT05788536RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy study for OTOF-related hearing loss
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy delivered into the ear to improve hearing in people with certain OTOF gene changes. It studies safety and how well the treatment can work, especially in children and infants, as doctors monitor hearing tests for up to 48 weeks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07431125Recruiting
Surgery and hearing test link in one-sided conductive hearing loss
This study looks at how surgery findings relate to hearing tests in people with one-sided conductive hearing loss but a normal eardrum. It may help if you have a specific type of hearing loss where sound is blocked, and your eardrum is intact.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges Any age - NCT05260307Recruiting
Improving hearing of multiple voices and speech understanding
This study tests ways to improve how people perceive space in sound and understand speech when many voices are talking at once. It may help adults with normal hearing or hearing loss better follow conversations in noisy, “overlapping voices” situations.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04696835Recruiting
Brain-light test with pediatric hearing aids
This study uses a special non-painful sensor test on the head (functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS) to understand how young children’s brains respond while wearing hearing aids. It may help improve how hearing aids are adjusted for babies and toddlers with hearing differences.
LilleAges 3 months–1.5 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT06377215Recruiting
How well do you hear speech in noise?
This study tests how well people understand speech in noisy settings, comparing younger and older adults with normal hearing and older adults with hearing loss. It aims to improve our understanding of hearing aid benefits.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT05535634Recruiting
Sound-based hearing check for young Finnish-speaking children
This trial studies a sound-based hearing test to help check hearing in young children. It may be useful if your child is being evaluated for hearing but has no prior inner-ear hearing damage.
TurkuAges 3–10 - NCT06551857Recruiting
How cancer treatments affect hearing and thinking
This study looks at how common cancer treatments (certain chemotherapies and radiation to the head and neck) affect hearing in noisy places, thinking skills, and quality of life related to hearing. It aims to understand and possibly reduce these side effects.
Turku, Southwest FinlandAges 18–75 - NCT05923203Recruiting
Testing combined hearing with cochlear implant and hearing aid
This trial studies a “combined” hearing approach that uses a cochlear implant plus low-frequency sound from a hearing aid. It may help people with different hearing profiles (including cochlear-implant users) hear more naturally by testing how well this combined setup works.
Edmond, OklahomaAges 5 years+ - NCT06375278Recruiting
Cooling device to protect hearing during cochlear implant
This trial tests a special cooling device used during cochlear implant surgery to help protect any remaining hearing you have. It may be a good option if you are already planning to get a cochlear implant at the University of Miami.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07509788Recruiting
Studying hearing with two ears in kids with cochlear implants
This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6–18 - NCT07288580RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for children with inherited deafness
This trial tests an injection called EHT102 for children who have severe or profound hearing loss due to mutations in the Otoferlin gene. The goal is to see if the treatment can restore or improve hearing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1–17 - NCT05129748RecruitingPhase 2
Prevent hearing damage during cisplatin chemotherapy
This Phase 2 trial tests whether sodium thiosulfate and mannitol can reduce hearing damage (ototoxicity) in adults receiving cisplatin chemotherapy. It may help protect hearing while you get cancer treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06490237Recruiting
Studying hearing nerve signals during brain surgery
This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06844071Recruiting
Safety of Sentio bone conduction implant in teens
This study tests the safety and performance of the Sentio bone conduction implant (a device that helps you hear by sending sound through the skull) in teenagers aged 12 to 17. It may be an option if you have certain types of hearing loss that cannot be helped by regular hearing aids.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12–18 - NCT07156825Recruiting
Adapting hearing tests for children in different languages
This study aims to adapt hearing tests used for children into other languages. It may help improve how hearing loss is diagnosed in children who speak languages other than English.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hearing loss, sensorineural?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting hearing loss, sensorineural 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 loss, sensorineural 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 loss, sensorineural 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.
