Same-day activation of cochlear implants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether it is safe and useful to turn on (activate) a cochlear implant on the same day as surgery, instead of waiting weeks. If you are getting a cochlear implant, you might be able to hear sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be able to get a cochlear implant based on standard medical guidelines (usually for severe hearing loss).
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You must not have any wound problems or other medical issues that would make same-day activation unsafe, such as meningitis or trouble communicating.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
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.
