Better hearing with cochlear implants through inner ear insights
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how cochlear implants are programmed by using information about the inner ear. It may help you hear better if you already use an Advanced Bionics cochlear implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are a native speaker of American English or speak multiple languages
- You use an Advanced Bionics cochlear implant (Clarion Hi-Focus I or newer)
- You have had your cochlear implant for at least 6 months
- You have hearing loss in both ears

This study looks at how well sound signals are processed in people who use cochlear implants or auditory brainstem implants. Researchers may learn more about hearing and how the devices work, using lab-based listening tasks and brain/signal measurements.
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 trial studies whether a structured auditory (hearing) and cognitive (thinking) training program can improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. It’s designed for people at a certain stage after their implant and with specific hearing and thinking test results.
This study looks at how programming a cochlear implant based on your inner ear's shape may improve early hearing performance. It is for adults who already have or will get a MED-EL cochlear implant and have some hearing in the opposite ear.
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 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.
