Improving hearing in noise for cochlear implant users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be a native French speaker.
- You must be able to give your consent to participate.
- If you have a cochlear implant: you must have used it for at least 18 months and have normal hearing for speech in quiet.
- If you have normal hearing: you must have normal hearing test results and normal speech hearing in noise.

This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
This study looks at how people with hearing aids perceive sound. It compares results between hearing-impaired and normal-hearing participants to better understand hearing challenges in daily life.
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 study measures how your brain and eyes respond when you listen and focus on sounds. It compares people using a cochlear implant with people who have normal hearing, to understand listening effort and attention.
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.
This study tests how well people with cochlear implants can understand speech in noisy situations, compared to those with normal hearing. It involves a special imaging scan to see how the brain processes sound, which may help improve future implant technology.
