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 trial tests a language program designed for young children with hearing loss who are getting cochlear implants. It aims to improve how well children understand and use spoken language, by using a “prediction” approach to tailor support.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants early in life, to understand why some have limited spoken language. It may help improve support for children with implants.
This study looks at how deaf children who got a cochlear implant very early (before 15 months old) develop social skills like understanding others' feelings and thoughts. It uses a questionnaire to track this development, which could help improve support for other children with implants.
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 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.
