Study of a new hearing implant for children with ear malformations
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new bone-anchored hearing system called OSIA for children born with missing or incomplete outer ears (microtia or atresia). It aims to see if the implant works well on both sides for improving hearing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 17 years old
- You speak French as your main language at home
- You have moderate to severe hearing loss due to an ear malformation (like microtia or atresia)
- You have used a bone conduction hearing device (on a headband or adhesive) for at least a year
- Your parent or guardian agrees to sign a consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a cochlear implant helps children aged 4 to 6 years who have hearing loss in only one ear (or one ear with severe loss and the other with mild loss) improve their hearing and communication. The device is surgically placed in the ear with worse hearing.
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.
This study looks at how parent support helps children who get cochlear implants very early, and how well their language develops. You may be able to join if your child meets the timing and hearing/implant requirements and you speak French at home.
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 trial tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
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.
