Testing a new software to guide cochlear implant surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a new software called OTOGUIDE that helps doctors monitor the insertion of a cochlear implant electrode during surgery. It may help make the procedure more precise and safer for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to receive a compatible MED-EL cochlear implant
- You have not had a cochlear implant in the same ear before
- Your inner ear (cochlea) is not blocked or abnormally shaped, as shown by imaging tests
- You do not have an active ear infection or a perforated eardrum in the ear to be implanted
- You are not pregnant or nursing

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 tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
This trial tests a new way to place cochlear implants that may be more precise and preserve more hearing. If you are already approved for a cochlear implant, the study will compare the new method to the standard approach.
This study is testing new software that helps doctors adjust or 'fit' auditory implants, which are devices like cochlear implants that help people hear. By taking part, you can help make these fitting tools easier to use and better for patients.
This trial tests a new technique to help preserve your natural hearing during cochlear implant surgery. It uses a special monitoring method (ECochG) to see if the implant can be placed while keeping your remaining hearing intact.
This trial tests a new cochlear implant device for people with severe or profound hearing loss. The implant may help you hear better by directly stimulating the hearing nerve, and the study will check if it is safe and works well.
