Hearing evaluation and rehab system for congenital hearing loss
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is developing a system to evaluate and improve hearing for people with congenital hearing loss. It compares participants who have hearing loss (and have used hearing aids, cochlear implants, or gene therapy) with healthy controls, to better understand and treat hearing challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have congenital hearing loss (hearing loss at birth), with hearing thresholds of 65 dB or more, and you’ve already had treatment like hearing aids, a cochlear implant, or gene therapy.
- You are between 1 and 35 years old.
- Your native language is Mandarin Chinese.
- You are willing to come for evaluations at set times and can follow instructions with help from a guardian if needed.
- You do not have other ear problems (like ear infections or Meniere's disease) or severe health conditions (like heart disease, hepatitis, weak immune system, or a history of organ transplant).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 compares how well people with severe hearing loss from birth understand speech after either gene therapy (which fixes a faulty gene) or a cochlear implant (a device that helps you hear). It includes healthy people with normal hearing as a comparison group, and it aims to see which treatment works better for understanding spoken language.
This trial tests a gene therapy called EH002 for people with severe or profound hearing loss due to changes in the OTOF gene. The treatment aims to help the ear hear better by replacing the faulty gene.
This study looks at how using hearing aids affects brain and language development in young children with mild hearing loss in both ears. It aims to see if early hearing aid use can help improve language skills.
This trial tests an injection called EHT102 for children who have severe or profound hearing loss due to mutations in the Otoferlin gene. The goal is to see if the treatment can restore or improve hearing.
This study follows people and families with autosomal dominant inherited hearing loss to better understand how it progresses. It may help researchers learn what to expect over time and guide future treatment planning.
