Recruiting studies in Wisconsin
- 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–79 - NCT07226167Recruiting
Hearing aid benefit in noisy places
This study tests how well hearing aids help people hear in real-world noisy environments. If you already use hearing aids and have hearing loss in both ears that started after childhood, this trial may help understand how to improve your experience.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06465979Recruiting
How do people with hearing loss understand speech in different settings?
This study looks at how people with healthy hearing or hearing loss understand speech in different listening environments. You might join if you have normal hearing, mild hearing loss, or use a cochlear implant, and are a competent adult English speaker.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–65 - 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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT06112860Recruiting
Over-the-counter hearing aids for memory loss study
This trial tests whether over-the-counter hearing aids can help people with mild memory loss (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia) who also have hearing loss. You and a communication partner will participate together to see if improving hearing can also help with thinking and communication.
La Crosse, WisconsinAges 60–90 - 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 5 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 4–21 - 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.

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 Wisconsin?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting hearing loss studies with a site in Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin?
- 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 Wisconsin to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Wisconsin, 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.
