Testing new computer coding ideas for cochlear implant users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study is developing and testing new “coding strategies” for children who have cochlear implants and for people with normal hearing. It may help improve how hearing input is processed or used, and could lead to better support for cochlear implant users.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 7 years old with a cochlear implant placed before age 2, or have normal hearing
- If you’re 18 or older, you can join if you have a cochlear implant placed after age 2 or have normal hearing
- If you’re 18 to 35, you can join if your cochlear implant was placed before age 2
- You should not be eligible if your cochlear implant was placed after age 2 (for children)

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 looks at how the connection between cochlear implant electrodes and nerve signals changes what you hear. It may help scientists improve how cochlear implants “map” sounds to your brain.
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.
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 trial checks how well a computer “noise reduction” algorithm works for people who use cochlear implants. It may help make speech easier to understand in noisy settings.
This study tests if a cochlear implant fitting based on your ear's anatomy helps you hear speech in noisy places and enjoy music more. It is for people who are deaf in one ear and use a MED-EL cochlear implant.
