Study of how early speech learning changes with social input
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how infants learn speech sounds through everyday social interaction, like parent talk. It may help researchers understand what supports early speech development, including in babies with typical hearing and those with hearing loss or hearing devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether changing how you hear your own voice can help improve vowel sounds. It may help people with speech problems learn to speak more clearly.
This study compares how children with autism and typically developing children learn to speak over time. It aims to predict speech problems early, so families can get the right support sooner.
This trial tests how people adapt their speech when they hear their own voice altered. It may help understand speech control in healthy people and those with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor or Parkinson's disease.
This trial tests a language program designed for young children with hearing loss who are getting cochlear implants. It aims to improve how well children understand and use spoken language, by using a “prediction” approach to tailor support.
This study checks how babies' brains respond to speech sounds, using special tests like EEG. It helps researchers understand hearing development in infants with normal hearing or hearing loss who use hearing aids.
This study looks at how children with cochlear implants develop language and how speech-language therapy can help. It may be a good fit for children who received a cochlear implant between 8 and 24 months old and have had follow-up care for at least two years.
