Genetic causes of hearing loss in Chinese babies
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes of babies up to 6 months old who didn't pass newborn hearing tests. The goal is to find genetic causes of hearing loss, which could help families understand their child's condition and plan for care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby is 6 months old or younger
- Baby did not pass the newborn hearing screening test
- Parent or guardian agrees to all required tests and follow-ups
- Parent or guardian signs a consent form

This study is developing a system to evaluate and improve hearing for people with congenital hearing loss. It compares participants who have hearing loss (and have used hearing aids, cochlear implants, or gene therapy) with healthy controls, to better understand and treat hearing challenges.
This study follows children with hearing loss caused by changes in specific genes (GJB2 or OTOF). It helps researchers understand how hearing develops over time and how children may do with or without cochlear implants.
This trial tests a gene therapy called EH002 for people with severe or profound hearing loss due to changes in the OTOF gene. The treatment aims to help the ear hear better by replacing the faulty gene.
This study looks at genetic causes of deafness by comparing affected and unaffected family members. It may help researchers understand why some people are born or develop deafness and guide future diagnosis for families in Pakistan.
This study looks at how well gene therapy or cochlear implants help restore hearing in people with severe hearing loss from birth. It compares the outcomes of these two treatments to see which is more effective.
This study checks if babies who fail their newborn hearing test might have a hidden infection from birth. It looks for cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus that can affect hearing, using a simple test.
