Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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 - 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.
College Park, MarylandAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT06930560Recruiting
Hearing aids for dementia with mood or behavior issues
This study tests whether providing hearing aids to older adults with Alzheimer's or related dementias can reduce troubling symptoms like agitation or depression. If you have untreated hearing loss and a caregiver who can join you, this trial may help improve quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 60–100 - 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 9 months–7 years - NCT06953700Enrolling by invitation
Hearing and age study for adults with normal or mild hearing loss
This study looks at how differences in hearing between your ears affect your ability to hear in noisy places. Researchers want to learn more across different ages.
College Park, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06803394Enrolling by invitation
Hearing health study for older Korean Americans
This study is testing a hearing program designed for Korean American adults aged 60 and older who have hearing loss but do not yet use a hearing aid. It aims to improve hearing health by working with you and a family member or friend.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04915183RecruitingPhase 2
Atorvastatin to help prevent cisplatin-related hearing loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine called atorvastatin can protect hearing in people with head and neck cancer receiving cisplatin plus radiation. If it works, it may reduce the chance or severity of treatment-related hearing damage.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06303180Recruiting
Collecting tissue and fluid samples for ear, nose, and throat research
This study collects samples like tissue, blood, or saliva from people with hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language problems, as well as from healthy volunteers. The samples help researchers better understand these conditions and develop new ways to diagnose or treat them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT05670496Recruiting
NIDCD medical data and sample collection for communication disorders
This study collects medical information and specimens to support research on problems with hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. It may help you (or your child) get additional evaluation and follow-up through NIDCD, especially if your clinician thinks it could be useful.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4–21

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.

- Are there hearing loss clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting hearing loss studies with a site in Maryland, 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 Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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.
