Improving cochlear implant outcomes in adults
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how to improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. Researchers will use your experiences to help optimize how cochlear implants are fitted and used.

This study tests a new way to adjust the settings on your cochlear implant and hearing aid together. The goal is to improve your hearing by using the natural structure of your ear, which might help you hear better in everyday situations.
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 way to set up (fit) a new cochlear implant sound processor using CT scan anatomy. It may help people hear better by tailoring how electrodes are mapped to their inner ear shape.
This trial tests a program to help adults who use a cochlear implant hear better, especially those who have hearing loss in only one ear or who are getting a second implant. It aims to optimize hearing performance after the implant is activated.
This study looks at how the brain adapts after a cochlear implant (a device that helps deaf people hear) and how it affects hearing recovery. It compares different groups of people to understand brain activity and hearing improvement.
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.
