Comparison of a new sound management feature for Med-El cochlear implants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new automatic sound feature helps people with Med-El cochlear implants hear better in different environments. It compares performance with the feature turned on versus off.

This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
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.
This study tests if a cochlear implant fitting based on your ear's anatomy helps you hear speech in noisy places and enjoy music more. It is for people who are deaf in one ear and use a MED-EL cochlear implant.
This study tests a personalized way to program your cochlear implant sound processor based on your unique ear anatomy. It's for adults who have recently received a MED-EL implant and haven't turned it on yet.
This trial tests new sound-processing software in cochlear implants to help users hear speech better in noisy places. It may help adult implant users who struggle with conversations in background noise.
