Long-term follow-up for people using an implanted hearing device
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks how well long-term care works for people who may use an osseointegrated hearing device (an implanted option that connects to bone). It may help by improving long-term support and outcomes for hearing and day-to-day functioning over about three years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects information from people who have or will get a Sentio bone-anchored hearing implant as part of their normal medical care. It helps doctors learn more about how well the implant works in everyday practice.
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 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 looks at how the brain adapts after a cochlear implant (a device that helps deaf people hear) and how it affects hearing recovery. It compares different groups of people to understand brain activity and hearing improvement.
This study is checking the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Neuro cochlear implant system in adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss who get little help from hearing aids. The implant may help you hear speech better than hearing aids alone.
This study follows people with hearing loss caused by changes (mutations) in the otoferlin gene to better understand how hearing and hearing-related test results change over time. It may help researchers prepare for future treatments by building a clear picture of the natural course of the condition.
