Cooling device to protect hearing during cochlear implant
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a special cooling device used during cochlear implant surgery to help protect any remaining hearing you have. It may be a good option if you are already planning to get a cochlear implant at the University of Miami.
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 and are scheduled for a cochlear implant at the University of Miami.
- You speak English or Spanish.
- You have some remaining hearing that can be tested before surgery.

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.
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 compares two different surgical methods for placing a cochlear implant (a device that helps with hearing). It is for adults who have lost hearing after learning to speak and are eligible for a specific type of implant. The goal is to see which approach works best.
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 tests a personalized way to program your cochlear implant sound processor based on your unique ear anatomy. It's for adults who have recently received a MED-EL implant and haven't turned it on yet.
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.
