CT and MRI scans for hearing loss due to inner ear malformations
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses CT and MRI scans to better diagnose inner ear problems present from birth that can cause hearing loss. If you or your child have such an anomaly, these scans may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have an inner ear anomaly that was present from birth.
- You need to be able to undergo CT and MRI scans.
- You must not have previously participated in similar imaging studies.
- You must not have any condition that prevents you from having an MRI (e.g., certain metal implants).

This study looks at why some people with Turner syndrome have inner ear problems. It uses MRI and CBCT scans to understand the genetic and epigenetic causes.
This trial studies how inner ear fluid swelling seen on MRI relates to symptoms like dizziness or hearing loss. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat balance disorders.
This study looks at the link between hydrocephalus (extra fluid in the brain) and a condition called endolymphatic hydrops, which is extra fluid in the inner ear. It aims to see if people with hydrocephalus are more likely to have this inner-ear fluid issue, which could help with future treatment.
This study looks at tiny sounds the inner ear makes (called otoacoustic emissions) to see if they are different in children with language development disorders. It may help doctors understand why some children have trouble with language and could lead to better detection or treatment.
This study uses MRI scans to look at heart problems in babies and children. It may help doctors understand the heart's structure better without using X-rays.
This study uses a special camera and sensor to look at the middle ear and measure how it vibrates, which may help better understand hearing loss. It could lead to more precise diagnosis and treatment.
