Testing a new cochlear implant for severe hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a new cochlear implant device for people with severe or profound hearing loss. The implant may help you hear better by directly stimulating the hearing nerve, and the study will check if it is safe and works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
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 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 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 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 trial tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
