Testing a new way to measure benefits for children with cochlear implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study is looking at a new model called the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to better understand how cochlear implants affect a child's daily life, not just hearing. It may help doctors tailor care to each child's needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old.
- Your child must have severe-to-profound hearing loss in both ears from before they learned to talk.
- Your child must already be scheduled for their first cochlear implant surgery.
- Your child must be willing to attend all study visits, tests, and follow-ups.
- Your child's inner ear (cochlea) must be open and healthy, as shown by a scan.
- This study is not for children who have already had a cochlear implant or need a re-implant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study checks whether a specific neuro cochlear implant system continues to be safe and works well for adults with very poor hearing. You may be considered if hearing aids don’t help enough and if you can safely have ear/inner-ear surgery.
This study looks at the experiences of people who have received cochlear implants. It aims to understand how well the implants work and how they affect your daily life.
This study looks at how the connection between cochlear implant electrodes and nerve signals changes what you hear. It may help scientists improve how cochlear implants “map” sounds to your brain.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants in both ears early in life. It aims to understand how their brains process spoken language and could help improve future therapies.
