New fully implantable cochlear implant for severe hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely placed under the skin, with no external parts. It is for adults with severe hearing loss who still struggle to hear even with hearing aids.

This study checks whether a specific neuro cochlear implant system continues to be safe and works well for adults with very poor hearing. You may be considered if hearing aids don’t help enough and if you can safely have ear/inner-ear surgery.
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
This study tests a cochlear implant to see how well it improves hearing in adults with severe hearing loss who don't get enough help from hearing aids. It may help you hear better in everyday life.
This study checks whether cochlear implantation is safe and effective for people who have very poor hearing in one ear (single-sided deafness) while the other ear hears normally or nearly normally. You may be enrolled if you meet specific hearing test and health/surgery readiness requirements.
This study is looking at a new model called the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to better understand how cochlear implants affect a child's daily life, not just hearing. It may help doctors tailor care to each child's needs.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
