How children hear speech in noise across ages
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study measures how well children with normal hearing understand speech in noisy, real-world settings. It compares results across different ages to learn how hearing develops. Participation involves listening tests and may help understand typical hearing changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Child must have normal hearing (no known hearing loss).
- Child must be a native French speaker with no bilingualism.

This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
This study tests a new way to help cochlear implant users hear better in noisy places. It compares their ability to hear speech in noise with people who have normal hearing.
This study tests how well people understand speech in noisy settings, comparing younger and older adults with normal hearing and older adults with hearing loss. It aims to improve our understanding of hearing aid benefits.
This study tests if wearing two cochlear implants helps children hear speech better in noisy places. The goal is to improve listening skills in everyday situations like classrooms or playgrounds.
This study checks whether a quick ear-sound test (high-frequency otoacoustic emissions) can help understand developmental language acquisition disorders. Children with typical language and children with language delay will both be tested to compare results, even when hearing is “normal.”
This study is looking for adults who have trouble hearing in noisy places or everyday life, even though their standard hearing test is normal. They will get extra hearing tests to find a hidden hearing problem that regular tests miss.
