Computer training to improve hearing after cochlear implant
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing listening exercises on a computer can help adults who just got a cochlear implant understand speech better and feel more satisfied with their hearing. If you are getting a cochlear implant at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe hearing loss in both ears and are getting a cochlear implant (one or both ears) at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can use a computer or tablet for training.
- You speak English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, or Danish.
- This is your first cochlear implant (not replacing an old one).

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 focuses on people who already use cochlear implants and tests a way to improve how the brain processes sound timing. If you’re an adult cochlear implant user, you may be able to join and help researchers understand what works best for hearing.
This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
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 study tests a computer-based music training program for people who use cochlear implants. It may help improve music perception and listening skills, making everyday sounds and music more enjoyable.
This trial tests a program to help adults who use a cochlear implant hear better, especially those who have hearing loss in only one ear or who are getting a second implant. It aims to optimize hearing performance after the implant is activated.
