Hearing loss and balance training study for teens
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a training program to help teenagers with severe hearing loss improve their balance and daily activities. It may help if you have only hearing loss and no other health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
This study looks at how hearing loss affects teenagers' language and thinking skills. It compares teens with hearing loss to those with typical hearing to better understand listening and development.
This study tests whether walking backward, with or without a special balance trainer tool, helps children with significant hearing loss improve their balance and how they move. Better balance could help them feel more confident and prevent falls.
This trial tests whether auditory training can improve how people process sounds. It compares outcomes between younger adults (18-30) and older adults (60-85) who have normal or near-normal hearing.
This study compares younger and older adults to understand how brain “brake” signals (GABA) affect hearing-and-vision timing and balance. It may help researchers design future ways to improve balance and coordination as people age.
This study tests a new device that may help restore balance for people with long-term dizziness from inner ear problems. The implant is placed surgically to stimulate the balance nerve.
