Study of remote care for cochlear implant users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app and remote check-ins can improve care for people getting their first cochlear implant. If you're getting a Cochlear® implant and have a compatible smartphone, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests if cochlear implants can be adjusted remotely (without visiting the clinic) during regular follow-ups. If you have a compatible implant and sound processor, you may be able to take part from home.
This trial tests if teens with Advanced Bionics cochlear implants can do programming and hearing tests from home instead of going to the clinic. It could make follow-up care easier and more convenient.
This study tests a music app designed to help kids and teens with cochlear implants improve their music enjoyment and understanding. Participation involves using the app on a smartphone and completing some short assessments.
This study tests if a cochlear implant fitting based on your ear's anatomy helps you hear speech in noisy places and enjoy music more. It is for people who are deaf in one ear and use a MED-EL cochlear implant.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery improves how well you hear speech in noisy environments. If you have severe hearing loss in both ears and are a candidate for a cochlear implant, this study may help show if the robotic method leads to better hearing outcomes.
