Ear injection for hearing in noise with type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new ear injection called Paliroden to see if it can help people with type 2 diabetes hear better in noisy situations. It may be an option for those with normal hearing but difficulty understanding speech in background noise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a drug given through the eardrum to help people with constant tinnitus (ringing in the ears) who have normal hearing but trouble understanding speech in noise. The goal is to see if it can improve hearing and reduce the ringing.
This study tests whether injecting a steroid directly into the inner ear can help people with severe sudden hearing loss that did not get better with standard treatment. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve hearing.
This trial tests delivering steroid medicine directly into the inner ear through the round window to see if it helps people with severe sudden hearing loss who haven't improved with standard treatment.
This trial tests whether giving steroids directly into the inner ear can improve hearing in people with profound sudden hearing loss that didn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to see if this treatment can help recover more hearing.
This trial tests a new cochlear implant device for people with severe or profound hearing loss. The implant may help you hear better by directly stimulating the hearing nerve, and the study will check if it is safe and works well.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device worn on the ear can help improve memory and thinking in people with type 2 diabetes who also have mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you may receive the stimulation or a sham (inactive) treatment to see which helps more.
