Toddler hearing study: brain responses to speech
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks how babies' brains respond to speech sounds, using special tests like EEG. It helps researchers understand hearing development in infants with normal hearing or hearing loss who use hearing aids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 3 months and 2 years old
- Your baby either has normal hearing or has been diagnosed with hearing loss and uses hearing aids
- Your family communicates using spoken language (not sign language)
- Your baby does not have ear infections or too much ear wax blocking the ear canal

This study helps improve early hearing care by using a simple brain scan test (fNIRS) in babies with permanent hearing loss. It compares different early intervention approaches and aims to find better ways to support hearing development early on.
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 looks at how using hearing aids affects brain and language development in young children with mild hearing loss in both ears. It aims to see if early hearing aid use can help improve language skills.
This study tests a new device that plays special sounds to help preterm babies learn to tell different speech sounds apart. It is for babies born between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy to see if the device can improve their hearing and brain development.
This study checks how children’s brains and bodies respond to sounds using a hearing test called BAEP. It compares children with autism to other children with typical development to learn whether sound processing differs.
This study looks at how infants learn speech sounds through everyday social interaction, like parent talk. It may help researchers understand what supports early speech development, including in babies with typical hearing and those with hearing loss or hearing devices.
