Adapting hearing tests for children in different languages
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study aims to adapt hearing tests used for children into other languages. It may help improve how hearing loss is diagnosed in children who speak languages other than English.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 and 7 years old, with specific age groups for different parts of the study.
- If your child has normal hearing, this must be confirmed with a hearing test and a test of middle ear function.
- If your child has hearing loss, it must be a stable type called sensorineural, confirmed by a specialist.
- Your child must not have a cold, ear infection, or other upper respiratory infection at the time of testing.
- Your child must not have any known speech or language development problems or cognitive disorders.

This study measures how well hearing devices work and how they are best fitted at the start. It helps the company collect baseline information so future testing and fitting can be improved.
This study offers a free hearing screening for children aged 2 to 6 who attend a community preschool. The goal is to find any hearing issues early so children can get the help they need.
This study tests new features on hearing aids to see if they help people hear better. It is for adults with a specific type of hearing loss who already use hearing aids.
This study uses a special non-painful sensor test on the head (functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS) to understand how young children’s brains respond while wearing hearing aids. It may help improve how hearing aids are adjusted for babies and toddlers with hearing differences.
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.
