Cochlear implants for young children with one-sided deafness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A parent must sign permission to join the study
- Your child has very severe one-ear hearing loss that started before age 2
- The better (other) ear must have near-normal hearing
- Your child must be between about 7 months and 2 years 11 months when getting the implant
- A scan must show the hearing nerve looks normal and the inner ear shape is implantable
- Parents must be ready to attend follow-up visits and encourage wearing the implant when awake

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants early in life, to understand why some have limited spoken language. It may help improve support for children with implants.
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 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.
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 study looks at whether keeping some natural (residual) hearing in the implant ear can improve outcomes with a cochlear implant. If you fit their hearing and implant-device requirements, they’ll measure your hearing before and after implantation to see how well you can use that remaining hearing.
