Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT06729632Recruiting
Cooling device to protect ears from noise damage
This trial tests a non-invasive device that cools the ears to prevent hearing loss from loud noise. It is for adults aged 18-55 with normal hearing who are at risk for noise-induced hearing loss, such as firefighters.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–55 - NCT04899037Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people using an implanted hearing device
This study checks how well long-term care works for people who may use an osseointegrated hearing device (an implanted option that connects to bone). It may help by improving long-term support and outcomes for hearing and day-to-day functioning over about three years.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT07116135Recruiting
Hearing aid benefits on speech understanding and listening effort
This trial tests whether a new hearing instrument improves your ability to understand speech and reduces the mental effort of listening. If you are an experienced hearing aid user with moderate to moderately severe hearing loss, you may be eligible.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–95 - 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07765186Recruiting
How sound and attention affect hearing with cochlear implants
This study tests how people focus on sounds in noisy situations, comparing those with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants. It aims to better understand how the brain processes sound, which could improve hearing technology.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT05382338RecruitingPhase 3
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.
Fort Myers, FloridaAges 4–21 - 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 - NCT07176936Recruiting
Can ear stimulation improve hearing in noise?
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive ear stimulation device can help people hear speech better in noisy places. It is for people who have had a traumatic brain injury or those with normal hearing.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 25–55 - NCT07192757Recruiting
Trial to help you hear speech in noisy places
This study tests a new way to help people with age-related hearing loss understand conversations in noisy environments. It might improve your ability to hear clearly when there is background noise.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 55–80 - 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.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05110183Enrolling by invitation
Bionic ear implant surgery for certain inner-ear nerve tumors
This study looks at a special “opto-electrical” cochlear implant for people who need a specific type of tumor-removal surgery near the facial nerve and hearing structures. It may help restore hearing in people whose hearing is already severely reduced and who meet the tumor and hearing-size criteria.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18–89

What taking part in a hearing loss 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.

Common questions
- Are there hearing loss clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 12 recruiting hearing loss studies with a site in Florida, 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 study in Florida?
- 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 Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, 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.
- Does it cost anything to join a hearing loss trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New hearing loss studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
