Measuring and restoring hearing with cochlear implants in noise
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help cochlear implant users hear better in noisy places. It compares their ability to hear speech in noise with people who have normal hearing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are a native French speaker
- You have a cochlear implant that you've been using for at least 18 months, or you have normal hearing
- If you have a cochlear implant, you can hear speech well in quiet settings
- If you have normal hearing, you can hear well in quiet and in noisy settings

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 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 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 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 trial tests whether artificial intelligence can improve speech clarity in hearing aids for people with normal hearing or mild hearing loss. It may help if you have trouble understanding speech in noisy environments.
