Testing blood immune markers after cochlear implantation
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares blood and fluid-related immune “profiles” after cochlear implant surgery versus another ear/middle-ear surgery group. It aims to learn which immune signals may be linked to hearing outcomes and recovery after implantation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You must be eligible for the needed ear surgery (either cochlear implant or another middle-ear surgery)
- If you’re in the cochlear implant group: you have severe to profound inner-ear hearing loss, with speech understanding at 50% or less
- If you’re in the cochlear implant group: you have some remaining hearing measured on a hearing test (useful residual hearing) on at least two nearby pitches
- You must be able to give written informed consent and have French social security
- You likely cannot join if you have certain inner-ear complications, specific genetic test results, or recent infections/inflammation around the procedure

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.
This study looks at certain substances in the blood of children with congenital hearing loss (hearing loss present from birth) to see if they are different from children with normal hearing. It may help doctors understand why hearing loss happens and could lead to better treatments.
This study measures how your brain and eyes respond when you listen and focus on sounds. It compares people using a cochlear implant with people who have normal hearing, to understand listening effort and attention.
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 compares two ways of setting up a cochlear implant for adults who need one and speak French. It may help find a fitting approach that gives clearer sound by using a “tonotopy-based” method versus a standard method.
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.
