Brain activity study in deaf children with cochlear implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants in both ears early in life. It aims to understand how their brains process spoken language and could help improve future therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 17 years old.
- They must have gotten their first cochlear implant by age 2 and a half.
- They must have implants in both ears (either at the same time or less than 18 months apart).
- Your child was born with severe to profound hearing loss.
- Your child should not have additional severe disabilities that would prevent them from doing study tasks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 how people focus on sounds in noisy situations, comparing those with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants. It aims to better understand how the brain processes sound, which could improve hearing technology.
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 trial looks at how hearing with both ears helps children with cochlear implants listen more easily and think better. It compares kids with implants to those with normal hearing.
This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
This study looks at how the brain adapts after hearing loss and how cochlear implants help reorganize brain signals. It involves behavioral tests and EEG (safe brainwave recordings) to understand recovery.
