Test whether guided programming improves cochlear implant settings
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks whether an imaging-guided method can help tune your cochlear implant to improve hearing performance compared with the usual programming approach. It mainly looks at adults who already have a cochlear implant and have shown expected improvements with standard setup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have had a cochlear implant placed already.
- You had diagnostic hearing testing for nerve-related hearing loss (sensorineural hearing loss).
- You improved with your implant when it was programmed using the standard method (SOC programming).
- You can speak and understand English for the speech testing during the study.
- You are not pregnant (the study involves CT scanning and surgery).

This study looks at how to improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. Researchers will use your experiences to help optimize how cochlear implants are fitted and used.
This study tests if a cochlear implant fitting based on your ear's anatomy helps you hear speech in noisy places and enjoy music more. It is for people who are deaf in one ear and use a MED-EL cochlear implant.
This study tests a new way to adjust the settings on your cochlear implant and hearing aid together. The goal is to improve your hearing by using the natural structure of your ear, which might help you hear better in everyday situations.
This study tests a way to set up (fit) a new cochlear implant sound processor using CT scan anatomy. It may help people hear better by tailoring how electrodes are mapped to their inner ear shape.
This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
This trial tests a program to help adults who use a cochlear implant hear better, especially those who have hearing loss in only one ear or who are getting a second implant. It aims to optimize hearing performance after the implant is activated.
