Testing a new electrode placement during cochlear implant surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study is testing a safe way to place an extra electrode near a nerve in your ear during cochlear implant surgery. The goal is to see if this can improve hearing outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be scheduled for a cochlear implant surgery using a device made by Cochlear Americas.
- You must be willing to take part in this research study.
- You cannot have had prior ear surgery, a birth defect of the ear, or a previous cochlear implant in the same ear.
- You cannot be pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 trial tests a new technique to help preserve your natural hearing during cochlear implant surgery. It uses a special monitoring method (ECochG) to see if the implant can be placed while keeping your remaining hearing intact.
This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
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.
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
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.
