Testing speech understanding with a mobile app for hearing device users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses a smartphone app to test how well adults who use hearing aids or cochlear implants can understand speech. It aims to see if the app is a reliable way to measure hearing performance, which could make future check-ups easier and more convenient.

This study tests a music app designed to help kids and teens with cochlear implants improve their music enjoyment and understanding. Participation involves using the app on a smartphone and completing some short assessments.
This trial tests new sound-processing software in cochlear implants to help users hear speech better in noisy places. It may help adult implant users who struggle with conversations in background noise.
This study checks whether an in-ear device can enhance how clearly you speak, especially for people at risk of falling. You may do simple walking/standing tasks and use a study mobile app to help collect information.
This study measures how well hearing devices work and how they are best fitted at the start. It helps the company collect baseline information so future testing and fitting can be improved.
This study tests new features on hearing aids to see if they help people hear better. It is for adults with a specific type of hearing loss who already use hearing aids.
This study tests how acceptable new software is for fitting auditory implants (like cochlear implants). It aims to see if the software is easy to use and works well for people who have these implants, which may lead to better hearing outcomes.
