Measuring reflex in cochlear implant for kids
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to program cochlear implants in children by measuring a tiny muscle reflex in the ear. This could help doctors set the sound levels more accurately without needing the child to respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between birth and 7 years old
- Has a cochlear implant in one or both ears
- Has a normal middle ear check (tympanogram) showing the eardrum moves well
- No severe neurological, cognitive, or developmental problems
- Family must speak French fluently

This study tests a method to set cochlear implant sound levels using a small reflex in the ear. It may help doctors find the best sound settings for users aged 8-17.
This study measures how your brain and eyes respond when you listen and focus on sounds. It compares people using a cochlear implant with people who have normal hearing, to understand listening effort and attention.
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 study compares what people feel (subjective experience) with what the implant's settings show (objective measurements) in adults who are either getting a first cochlear implant soon or have had one for over a year. It aims to improve how implants are programmed to give better hearing results.
This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
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.
