Testing low energy audio streaming in new cochlear implant processors
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests new low-energy audio streaming features in two Cochlear sound processors (Nucleus 8 and Kanso 3). It looks at whether experienced cochlear implant users can accept and benefit from this feature in daily listening situations.

This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
This study compares two sound processors—the newer Nucleus 8 and the current Nucleus 7—to see if the newer one improves hearing in noise. If you are a cochlear implant user with a compatible implant, you might be able to participate and potentially benefit from updated technology.
This trial tests new sound-processing software in cochlear implants to help users hear speech better in noisy places. It may help adult implant users who struggle with conversations in background noise.
This study tests a personalized way to program your cochlear implant sound processor based on your unique ear anatomy. It's for adults who have recently received a MED-EL implant and haven't turned it on yet.
This study tests how well people with cochlear implants can understand speech in noisy situations, compared to those with normal hearing. It involves a special imaging scan to see how the brain processes sound, which may help improve future implant technology.
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.
