PAP treatment for sudden hearing loss with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using PAP (a breathing device for sleep apnea) can improve sudden hearing loss that happens alongside obstructive sleep apnea. It may help by reducing stress on the body during sleep and supporting hearing recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with AHI more than 15 per hour
- You were diagnosed with sudden hearing loss (SSHL) by a specialist using standard criteria
- Your sudden hearing loss started within the last 7 days
- You have not used PAP regularly before the study

This study looks at how severe sleep apnea affects your brain's ability to process sounds and think clearly. You will have hearing tests and an EEG, which is a safe brainwave recording, to see if treating sleep apnea can help your hearing and thinking.
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
This study tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.
This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
This study tests ways to improve how consistently Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use CPAP (a breathing device) for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. If you use CPAP irregularly now, the study may help you stay on track with treatment.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
