Support study for families after early cochlear implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how parent support helps children who get cochlear implants very early, and how well their language develops. You may be able to join if your child meets the timing and hearing/implant requirements and you speak French at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been born with very severe (profound) hearing loss
- Your child received a cochlear implant between 8 and 18 months of age
- At the time of enrollment (in the study), your child is 11 to 21 months old
- Your child has been wearing the implant all the time for the study period
- Your child has had the cochlear implant for about 3 months
- You (a parent) can speak French, and the other legal parent/guardian agrees

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 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.
This trial tests whether a cochlear implant helps children aged 4 to 6 years who have hearing loss in only one ear (or one ear with severe loss and the other with mild loss) improve their hearing and communication. The device is surgically placed in the ear with worse hearing.
This study tests a method to set cochlear implant sound levels using a small reflex in the ear. It may help doctors find the best sound settings for users aged 8-17.
This trial tests a new bone-anchored hearing system called OSIA for children born with missing or incomplete outer ears (microtia or atresia). It aims to see if the implant works well on both sides for improving hearing.
This study tests if cochlear implants can be adjusted remotely (without visiting the clinic) during regular follow-ups. If you have a compatible implant and sound processor, you may be able to take part from home.
