Hearing aid and implant study using voice emotion prompts
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This early-phase study checks how well people understand emotions in voices when they have a cochlear implant (or normal hearing). It may help improve communication training and support for patients and families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be one of these groups: deaf children with cochlear implants, adults with cochlear implants, or people with normal hearing
- If you were deaf before learning language (prelingual), you typically need cochlear implants placed before age 12
- If you received your cochlear implant after age 12 and were prelingually deaf, you likely cannot join
- You must be able to complete a basic thinking/memory screen (cognitive screening)
- You must be a native (non-native speakers of American English are not eligible)

This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
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 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 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 measures how much effort it takes to listen and understand speech for adults with cochlear implants compared to those with normal hearing. It can help researchers learn how to improve hearing outcomes.
This study tests how well people with cochlear implants can understand speech in noisy situations, compared to those with normal hearing. It involves a special imaging scan to see how the brain processes sound, which may help improve future implant technology.
