Brain activity study for 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 early in life, to understand why some have limited spoken language. It may help improve support for children with implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 4 and 17 years old
- You received your first cochlear implant by age 2 and a half (30 months)
- You have cochlear implants in both ears
- If you got the implants at different times, the gap between them was no more than 18 months
- You have severe to profound hearing loss from birth (hearing level of 90 dB or worse)

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 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 brain adapts after a cochlear implant (a device that helps deaf people hear) and how it affects hearing recovery. It compares different groups of people to understand brain activity and hearing improvement.
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 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.
