Studying how inherited hearing loss changes over time
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study follows people and families with autosomal dominant inherited hearing loss to better understand how it progresses. It may help researchers learn what to expect over time and guide future treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the enrolled family member) have inherited hearing loss that runs in the family (autosomal dominant).
- Preferably, the hearing loss has been confirmed by genetic testing, or it’s clearly known in the family.
- You can join if you’re a family member of an enrolled participant—either affected, or unaffected (healthy) family members.
- Ages 3 to 99, and adults can consent; for children, a parent or guardian can consent.
- Your hearing loss is not from a non-genetic cause like certain infections, immune/metabolic problems, or drug exposure.
- You haven’t had hearing-loss–related surgery for a known tumor or failed stapes surgery, and you can give/arrange consent.

This study looks at how differences in hearing between your ears affect your ability to hear in noisy places. Researchers want to learn more across different ages.
This study looks at how the brain processes the timing of sounds and speech in people with cochlear implants and in people with typical hearing. It may help researchers understand what changes with age and how implant hearing works in the real world.
This study measures how well hearing devices work and how they are best fitted at the start. It helps the company collect baseline information so future testing and fitting can be improved.
This study follows adults getting their first hearing aids to understand how hearing aids affect their social life and participation over about 13 months. It aims to see if hearing aids help people stay connected and engaged.
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.
This study follows adults with hearing instability to better understand what causes it, measure it in new ways, and look for potential treatment targets. If you qualify, you may get hearing and balance-related testing (including scans) over a period of time.
