- NCT07635368Recruiting
Blood Markers in Newborns With CMV Infection
This research study examines blood samples from newborns to identify biological markers (proteins and genetic signals) that could help detect and understand congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection—a virus some babies are born with. Finding these markers might help doctors identify infected infants earlier and develop better treatments.
CopenhagenAges birth–4 weeks - NCT03745560Recruiting
Test hearing testing during surgery to guide cochlear implant decisions
This study uses a special hearing test done during surgery for vestibular schwannoma to help decide what hearing treatment you need afterward. It may help guide whether a cochlear implant is a good option for hearing rehabilitation.
Vienna, AustriaAges 18–99 - NCT04296097Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe, steady disabling tinnitus
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a device that sends controlled signals to the brain) can reduce severe, constant tinnitus that has not improved with usual treatments. It may help lower the loudness distress and improve daily quality of life for people whose tinnitus is especially disabling.
GrenobleAges 18–75 - NCT07568184Recruiting
New Exosome Treatment for Sudden Hearing Loss
This trial tests a new way to deliver anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the ear using tiny particle carriers called exosomes. It's designed for people who lost hearing suddenly without a clear cause and didn't improve with standard steroid pills.
Kafr ash Shaykh, EgyptAges 18–65 - NCT07557771Recruiting
Testing Middle Ear Function with Sound Waves
This research study tests a new way to measure how well your middle ear (the tiny bones behind your eardrum) works using sound waves instead of traditional hearing tests. It involves three groups: people with normal hearing, people with conductive hearing loss, and people scheduled for cochlear implant surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07506408Recruiting
Online listening training for adults with hearing difficulties
This study tests two types of online listening exercises that may help improve how well you understand speech in noise, even for people who normally use hearing aids. You'll practice from home and researchers will check if it helps your hearing, thinking, and everyday conversations.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06053190Recruiting
Clear speech and memory in older adults
This study is testing whether listening to clear speech (slow, precise) helps older adults understand and remember sentences better. If you're between 60 and 90, right-handed, and a native English speaker, this trial may help you or your loved one learn more about how to improve communication as you age.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 60–90 - NCT07447427Recruiting
Language development in kids with cochlear implants and speech therapy
This study looks at how children with cochlear implants develop language and how speech-language therapy can help. It may be a good fit for children who received a cochlear implant between 8 and 24 months old and have had follow-up care for at least two years.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 2.7 years–4 years - NCT07417956Recruiting
Measuring reflex in cochlear implant for kids
This study tests a new way to program cochlear implants in children by measuring a tiny muscle reflex in the ear. This could help doctors set the sound levels more accurately without needing the child to respond.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges birth–7 years - NCT07389213Recruiting
Can brain stimulation and hearing aids slow memory loss in older adults with hearing loss?
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) combined with hearing aids can help slow down thinking and memory decline in older adults who have age-related hearing loss.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50–85 - NCT06830187Recruiting
Bone density, vitamin D, and hearing loss in otosclerosis
This study looks at how bone density and vitamin D levels relate to hearing loss in people with otosclerosis, a condition where extra bone growth in the ear causes hearing problems. It may help doctors understand why some people lose more hearing than others.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06453343Recruiting
Comparing two surgical approaches for cochlear implants
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a cochlear implant (a device that helps with hearing). It is for adults who have lost hearing after learning to speak and are eligible for a specific type of implant. The goal is to see which approach works best.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT07364747RecruitingPhase 2
Does acetylcysteine protect hearing during cisplatin chemo?
This trial tests if taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help prevent hearing loss caused by high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy. If you're getting cisplatin and are between 18 and 70, you may be able to join.
Bangkok, BangkoknoiAges 18–70 - NCT05312983Recruiting
Testing new hearing tests to better diagnose age-related hearing loss
This study is developing a set of hearing tests to more precisely identify age-related hearing loss. It may help you (or the study team) better understand what type of hearing problem you have and how to guide next steps.
ParisAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07294976Recruiting
Testing maximum gain in bone-anchored hearing devices
This trial tests the maximum sound gain you can get from your bone-anchored hearing device. If you already use an Oticon Medical compatible system and have mixed hearing loss, this study will check how well your device performs.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07281508RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing hearing loss from cisplatin in head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether a gel placed in the ear can protect against hearing loss caused by high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy. It is for people with head and neck cancer who are scheduled to receive a certain amount of cisplatin.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06885411Recruiting
Hearing loss from metal-on-metal hip implants
This study looks at whether metal-on-metal hip replacements can affect hearing. It aims to understand if there is a link between these implants and hearing loss.
DelftAges Any age - NCT07218913RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a drug to reduce ear damage from chemo in testicular cancer
This trial tests whether adding Pedmark (sodium thiosulfate) to cisplatin chemotherapy can protect hearing in men with stage II or III testicular germ cell tumors. It aims to reduce the risk of drug-related ear damage while still treating the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06098482Recruiting
Testing speech understanding with a mobile app for hearing device users
This study uses a smartphone app to test how well adults who use hearing aids or cochlear implants can understand speech. It aims to see if the app is a reliable way to measure hearing performance, which could make future check-ups easier and more convenient.
