- 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.

Improving how the emergency room supports people with hearing loss
This study looks at strategies to help people with hearing difficulties in VA emergency departments and measure how well those strategies work. You may be asked about your communication needs and then followed for outcomes during your emergency visit.

Sodium thiosulfate to protect hearing in medulloblastoma
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding sodium thiosulfate during treatment for newly diagnosed medulloblastoma can reduce the risk of hearing loss. It is designed for children and teens whose cancer meets specific low-risk or average-risk tumor and lab features.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 4–21 - 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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.
