Using the ICF model for children getting a cochlear implant
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how a tool called the ICF model can help plan and track care for children getting a cochlear implant. If your child is getting their first implant, this study may help improve their listening and language progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children under 18 with severe to profound hearing loss in both ears that started before they learned to speak.
- Must be a first cochlear implant (not a replacement).
- Imaging (MRI or CT) must show the inner ear is open and suitable for the implant.
- Must be able to attend regular check-ups, tests, and therapy sessions.
- Must be in good general health with no conditions that would make surgery risky.
- Must use a standard, non-custom electrode (not compressed, split, or custom-made).

This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants early in life, to understand why some have limited spoken language. It may help improve support for children with implants.
This study looks at how your experience of hearing with a cochlear implant matches up with tests of how your ear responds to stimulation. The goal is to improve how implants are set for each person.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
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 looks at the experiences of people who have received a cochlear implant (a device that helps you hear by sending signals to your hearing nerve). It aims to understand how well the implant works for those who use it regularly, which may help improve care for future patients.
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a cochlear implant (a device that helps with hearing). It is for adults who have lost hearing after learning to speak and are eligible for a specific type of implant. The goal is to see which approach works best.
