Surgery and hearing test link in one-sided conductive hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgery findings relate to hearing tests in people with one-sided conductive hearing loss but a normal eardrum. It may help if you have a specific type of hearing loss where sound is blocked, and your eardrum is intact.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have hearing loss in only one ear, and it's a type where sound is blocked from reaching the inner ear (conductive or mixed hearing loss).
- Your eardrum is intact (no holes or perforations).
- A hearing test shows a difference of more than 20 decibels between air and bone conduction.
- You do not have nerve-related hearing loss (sensorineural) in that ear.
- You do not have chronic ear infections, a perforated eardrum, or prior ear surgery on that side.

This study looks at how well an endoscopic stapes surgery (a procedure done through the ear canal using a tiny camera) improves hearing and ear health in people with otosclerosis. It aims to see if this less invasive approach is safe and effective for restoring sound transmission.
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
This research study tests a new way to measure how well your middle ear (the tiny bones behind your eardrum) works using sound waves instead of traditional hearing tests. It involves three groups: people with normal hearing, people with conductive hearing loss, and people scheduled for cochlear implant surgery.
This trial tests a new way to fix a hole in the eardrum using a curved piece of cartilage. It aims to improve the success of the surgery for a specific type of eardrum hole.
This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at Tympanoseal for people who still have a childhood ear tube or a small eardrum hole. It may help protect the ear and improve healing, while researchers compare outcomes using a standardized approach.
