Links tinnitus and hearing changes after head and neck cancer treatment
This study looks at how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing problems may develop after radiotherapy alone or with certain chemotherapy for high-risk head and neck cancer. The goal is to better understand who is more likely to experience these side effects.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05898659Recruiting
Tested new cochlear fitting with or without sound timing sync
This study compares two ways of setting up a cochlear implant to deliver sound, either with or without synchronized timing. It may help improve how well French-speaking adults with newer hearing loss can hear everyday sounds.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT05870527Enrolling by invitation
Pupil changes during vagus nerve stimulation during ear surgery
This study looks at how your pupils (the black center of the eye) respond while a vagus nerve device is turned on during surgery for either a cochlear implant or a vagus nerve stimulator. It aims to better understand the eye/nerve effects of this stimulation, which may improve how such procedures are done safely.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05451628Recruiting
Personalized Sound Processor Tuning for New Cochlear Implant Users
This study tests a personalized way to program your cochlear implant sound processor based on your unique ear anatomy. It's for adults who have recently received a MED-EL implant and haven't turned it on yet.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4–21 - NCT05215197Recruiting
Platelet-rich fibrin placed during cochlear implant surgery
This trial studies whether applying a special healing material during cochlear implant surgery improves outcomes for people with nerve-based hearing loss. You might be eligible if you need a cochlear implant using a specific electrode and do not have certain inner-ear conditions.
DenizliAges Any age - NCT05176561Enrolling by invitation
Brain and hearing training for older cochlear-implant users
This trial studies whether a structured auditory (hearing) and cognitive (thinking) training program can improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. It’s designed for people at a certain stage after their implant and with specific hearing and thinking test results.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 60 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 - NCT04152551RecruitingPhase 4
Bisphosphonate use and hearing loss in type 1 osteogenesis imperfecta
This study looks at whether bisphosphonate treatment affects hearing loss in people with type 1 osteogenesis imperfecta. If you qualify, it may help researchers understand if treatment can protect hearing over time.
New York, New YorkAges 6–100 - NCT02310399Recruiting
Auditory brainstem implant for children without cochleae or hearing nerves
This study looks at whether an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) can help children hear sounds and develop listening/communication skills when the usual inner-ear hearing structures or hearing nerves are missing or not working. It may help some children who cannot benefit from a cochlear implant, but spoken language may not be the main outcome.
New York, New YorkAges 1.5 years–21 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hearing loss?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 178 recruiting hearing loss studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hearing loss trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hearing loss trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
