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+ - NCT07460037Recruiting
Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT07035873Recruiting
Remote check-ups for teens with cochlear implants
This trial tests if teens with Advanced Bionics cochlear implants can do programming and hearing tests from home instead of going to the clinic. It could make follow-up care easier and more convenient.

This study looks at how emotions and thinking skills develop in children aged 3 to 6 who go to preschool. The goal is to understand what affects a child's growth and to find better ways to support them.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 3–6 - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT05635929Recruiting
Topical treatment to reduce mouth sores during or after radiation
This study tests a new cream/gel applied to the mouth to lower the chance of severe mouth sores in people receiving radiation for head and neck cancer. It also looks at how treatment affects quality of life using patient questionnaires.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07531706Recruiting
How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06578416Recruiting
Stuttering development in young children
This study looks at how stuttering develops in young children by comparing kids who stutter with those who don't. It aims to understand the differences to help improve future treatments.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 3–6 - NCT07392411Recruiting
AI study of face and speech in Parkinson's disease
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze facial expressions and speech patterns in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The goal is to find digital markers that may help track the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 15–75 - NCT07392554Recruiting
Virtual reality for public speaking practice
This trial tests if virtual reality can help higher education students improve their public speaking skills. You'll use a VR program to practice speaking in front of an audience, which may reduce anxiety and improve your confidence.
Liège, LiègeAges 20–30 - NCT07397923RecruitingPhase 2
Zenicom digital therapy for post-stroke aphasia
This study tests a digital therapy app called Zenicom that may help improve language problems after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke in the last 3 months and now have trouble speaking or understanding language.
Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07380269Recruiting
Long-term study of cochlear implant outcomes
This study follows people who get a cochlear implant – a device that helps restore hearing. It tracks how well you hear over time and checks for any long-term benefits or problems.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06812273Recruiting
Auditory training study for younger and older adults
This trial tests whether auditory training can improve how people process sounds. It compares outcomes between younger adults (18-30) and older adults (60-85) who have normal or near-normal hearing.
Riverside, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT07346378Recruiting
Brain stimulation for post-stroke aphasia
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can safely help people recover language abilities after a stroke. It aims to improve communication for people with post-stroke aphasia.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07323862Recruiting
Improving hearing in noise for people with two cochlear implants
This study tests a new way to help people with cochlear implants hear speech better in noisy places, while still being able to tell where sounds come from. It compares different sound processing strategies to find the best one for daily life.
Champaign, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07264036Recruiting
Nasal Speech After Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Study
This study is for people who have had treatment for head or neck cancer and now have a nasal-sounding voice. It tests a procedure to help improve speech by adding a small amount of filler material to the back of the throat.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07560696Recruiting
Web-based therapy for thinking and speech after illness
