Brain and hearing training for older cochlear-implant users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured auditory (hearing) and cognitive (thinking) training program can improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. It’s designed for people at a certain stage after their implant and with specific hearing and thinking test results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 60 years old or older
- Your cochlear implant was turned on between 3 months and 3 years ago
- You can pass a brief thinking test used in the study
- Your hearing speech test results fall between 10% and 85% on AZBio
- You do not have single-sided deafness
- You can speak and understand English fluently

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 focuses on people who already use cochlear implants and tests a way to improve how the brain processes sound timing. If you’re an adult cochlear implant user, you may be able to join and help researchers understand what works best for hearing.
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.
This study looks at how well sound signals are processed in people who use cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants. Researchers may learn more about hearing and how the devices work, using lab-based listening tasks and brain/signal measurements.
This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
This study looks at how the inner ear's health affects cochlear implant results. Researchers hope to use special programming to improve hearing for people with Advanced Bionics implants.
