Study how aging and cochlear implants affect speech timing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you have a cochlear implant: it must be a Cochlear-brand implant
- If you have a cochlear implant: it should have been placed after 2004
- If you have a cochlear implant: you’ve had it for at least 1 year
- If you have a cochlear implant: you must be able to use oral (spoken) language
- If you have typical hearing: your hearing must be normal to mildly/moderately reduced, not severe

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 tests how well people with two cochlear implants (or one cochlear implant and one hearing ear) can hear in complex, noisy settings. It aims to improve how these devices help in everyday listening situations.
This study looks at how differences in hearing between your ears affect your ability to hear in noisy places. Researchers want to learn more across different ages.
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 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 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.
