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.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 85
- You live in the community (not in a nursing facility) and plan to stay in the local area for the full study
- You can speak and understand English well enough for visits and testing
- You have a hearing problem that could be helped by an implanted (bone-anchored) hearing device
- You can complete thinking/memory screening (MMSE) and have no major cognitive problems at the start
- You are able and willing to agree to participate and follow the study plan for about 3 years

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 trial tests a new bone-anchored hearing system called OSIA for children born with missing or incomplete outer ears (microtia or atresia). It aims to see if the implant works well on both sides for improving hearing.
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.
This study checks whether a specific neuro cochlear implant system continues to be safe and works well for adults with very poor hearing. You may be considered if hearing aids don’t help enough and if you can safely have ear/inner-ear surgery.
This study looks at whether keeping some natural (residual) hearing in the implant ear can improve outcomes with a cochlear implant. If you fit their hearing and implant-device requirements, they’ll measure your hearing before and after implantation to see how well you can use that remaining hearing.
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.
