Cochlear implant study for adults with hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe to very severe hearing loss in the ear that would receive the implant.
- Hearing aids do not work well enough for you in that ear.
- You are a fluent speaker of the language used in the hearing tests.
- You have a smartphone that works with the Nucleus Smart App.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and sign a consent form.

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 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 looks at how the brain processes the timing of sounds and speech in people with cochlear implants and in people with typical hearing. It may help researchers understand what changes with age and how implant hearing works in the real world.
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.
This study looks at whether keeping some natural (residual) hearing in the implant ear can improve outcomes with a cochlear implant. If you fit their hearing and implant-device requirements, they’ll measure your hearing before and after implantation to see how well you can use that remaining hearing.
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a cochlear implant (a device that helps with hearing). It is for adults who have lost hearing after learning to speak and are eligible for a specific type of implant. The goal is to see which approach works best.
