Robot-assisted cochlear implant and hearing in noise
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery improves how well you hear speech in noisy environments. If you have severe hearing loss in both ears and are a candidate for a cochlear implant, this study may help show if the robotic method leads to better hearing outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears (with word understanding at 70% or less even with hearing aids).
- You are able to understand the study information and give written consent in French.
- You are covered by French social security.
- You do not have certain types of hearing loss with poor outlook (like auditory neuropathy, recent meningitis, or a tumor).

This trial tests a new technique to help preserve your natural hearing during cochlear implant surgery. It uses a special monitoring method (ECochG) to see if the implant can be placed while keeping your remaining hearing intact.
This study is testing ways to measure and improve how well people with cochlear implants hear and understand speech in noisy environments. It may help you hear better in crowded or loud places.
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 new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
This study compares two ways of putting in a cochlear implant, a device that helps people with severe hearing loss hear. One method uses a robot, the other is done completely by hand. The goal is to see which way gives better hearing results.
This trial compares a robotic-assisted method to the standard manual method for inserting the electrode array during cochlear implant surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better hearing outcomes.
