Review of MED-EL cochlear implants for hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks back at the safety and performance of cochlear implants made by MED-EL in people who had their first implant at Inselspital Bern after 1995. It may help improve future care for people with hearing loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The implant was your first one and was placed at Inselspital Bern.

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 study collects real-world information from people who have, or will have, a MED-EL cochlear implant. The goal is to build a registry so researchers and the company can better understand outcomes over time.
This is an observational study that collects information from people using MED-EL hearing devices (with or without an implant) to better understand real-world hearing care. It may help improve future planning, support, and device use for patients like you.
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
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 your experience of hearing with a cochlear implant matches up with tests of how your ear responds to stimulation. The goal is to improve how implants are set for each person.
