Studying hearing with two ears in kids with cochlear implants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 18 years old.
- You have normal or corrected vision.
- You became deaf before learning to talk and have severe-to-profound hearing loss in both ears.
- You have one or two cochlear implants and can understand speech well (score 5 or higher on a listening test).
- You are willing to cooperate with testing, and your parent or guardian signs a consent form.

This study tests how well people with two cochlear implants (or one cochlear implant and one hearing ear) can hear in complex, noisy settings. It aims to improve how these devices help in everyday listening situations.
This study tests a new way to help people with cochlear implants hear speech better in noisy places, while still being able to tell where sounds come from. It compares different sound processing strategies to find the best one for daily life.
This study looks at how to improve outcomes for people with cochlear implants. It involves answering questions or doing tasks to see what helps people hear better with their implant.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants in both ears early in life. It aims to understand how their brains process spoken language and could help improve future therapies.
This study looks at how the connection between cochlear implant electrodes and nerve signals changes what you hear. It may help scientists improve how cochlear implants “map” sounds to your brain.
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.
