Same-day cochlear implant activation study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether it's safe and helpful to activate a cochlear implant on the same day as surgery, instead of waiting weeks. It is for adults who are candidates for a cochlear implant and do not have complications that would make early activation unsafe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to be a candidate for a cochlear implant based on national guidelines (your doctor can confirm this).
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You should not have any medical or surgical problems that make same-day activation unsafe, such as a wound that needs a pressure bandage, difficulty communicating, or a recent infection like meningitis.
- Your doctor will check if you are suitable for same-day activation.

This study is testing a safe way to place an extra electrode near a nerve in your ear during cochlear implant surgery. The goal is to see if this can improve hearing outcomes.
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 trial studies a “combined” hearing approach that uses a cochlear implant plus low-frequency sound from a hearing aid. It may help people with different hearing profiles (including cochlear-implant users) hear more naturally by testing how well this combined setup works.
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.
This study tests a cochlear implant to see how well it improves hearing in adults with severe hearing loss who don't get enough help from hearing aids. It may help you hear better in everyday life.
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.
