Middle ear imaging and vibration test for hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera and sensor to look at the middle ear and measure how it vibrates, which may help better understand hearing loss. It could lead to more precise diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have hearing loss – either conductive (sound doesn't pass through the ear well) or sensorineural (nerve-related hearing loss).
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.

This research study tests a new way to measure how well your middle ear (the tiny bones behind your eardrum) works using sound waves instead of traditional hearing tests. It involves three groups: people with normal hearing, people with conductive hearing loss, and people scheduled for cochlear implant surgery.
This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
This study tests a self-assessment method for choosing and fitting over-the-counter hearing aids. It aims to help adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss manage their hearing without needing a doctor's prescription.
This study tests flexible hearing aids for people with conductive or mixed hearing loss (where sound is blocked or not transmitted well to the inner ear). It aims to see if these devices work well and are comfortable for daily use.
This study looks at whether a new light-based check can help detect middle ear problems such as ear infections or fluid behind the eardrum. If it works well, it could help clinicians identify the problem faster and more accurately for children.
This study looks at a test method to check middle ear infections in people who are planning surgery. It may help clinicians better evaluate the infection before or during treatment.
