Auditory neuropathy, autosomal dominant 3

This study tested a new method called CORGEE that uses brain wave recordings (EEG) to measure how well children with hearing loss understand speech. Unlike standard hearing tests that require kids to respond verbally, this approach is objective and does not need active participat…

This study tested a device that sends sound from the non-hearing ear to a cochlear implant in the other ear. 16 older adults with one cochlear implant used the device to see if it improved their speech understanding in noisy settings. The goal was to also see if it improved quali…

This study tested whether speech-language teletherapy can improve language outcomes in deaf or hard-of-hearing children aged 0-27 months. Researchers enrolled 210 children, some publicly insured and some privately insured, and gave some access to an 18-month teletherapy program. …

This study tested a new, less invasive surgical method for placing a bone-anchored hearing device (Ponto implant) in 52 adults with hearing loss. The goal was to see if the implant stayed securely in place without causing skin problems or pain. The approach aims to make the proce…

This study tested the ALICE app, a smartphone tool designed to train listening and communication skills in people with hearing loss. 161 adults who already use hearing aids or cochlear implants used the app alongside their usual care. The goal was to see if the app could improve …

This completed study tested Nuance Audio glasses, which have a built-in hearing aid for adults with mild to moderate hearing trouble. 21 participants wore the glasses and took speech tests in quiet and noisy settings, plus a real-world walking tour. The goal was to see if the dev…

This study tested whether a computer model could find the best combination of active electrodes in a cochlear implant to improve speech understanding. Fourteen adults with cochlear implants tried different settings, including ones recommended by the model, and their speech recogn…

This study looked at whether hearing and vision loss are linked to delirium (sudden confusion) in older hospital patients. Over 1,500 participants answered screening questions and had their hearing and vision tested. In a smaller trial, researchers tested if posting communication…

This study tested a program designed to improve psychological hardiness (like resilience and commitment) in hard-of-hearing female students in Saudi Arabia. 25 students took part, with some receiving the program and others continuing their usual activities. The goal was to see if…

This study looked at whether using feedback and spacing out practice sessions can help children aged 5 to 9 who are deaf or hard of hearing learn new words more efficiently. Thirteen children took part in word-learning exercises to see which methods worked best. The goal was to f…

This study looked at how children with and without hearing loss use eye gaze and facial expressions to improve speechreading (lip-reading). Researchers tested 140 children aged 8–11 with cognitive and speechreading tasks, and some children with hearing loss trained using a specia…

This study looked at whether musical pitch training can improve music appreciation and hearing in people with cochlear implants. 120 teenage and adult implant users took part, with some receiving musical training and others visual training as a comparison. The goal was to underst…

This study looked at 49 adult cochlear implant users to see if electrical measurements from the inner ear can predict the best sound levels for each person. Researchers collected data during surgery and after months of implant use, then compared it to standard hearing tests. The …

This study tested whether French versions of two standard hearing aid benefit questionnaires (IOI-HA and COSI) are accurate and reliable. Researchers enrolled 100 adults with hearing loss who use hearing aids. The goal was to confirm these questionnaires work well in French, so c…

This study tested a mobile app that lets adults with cochlear implants track their hearing difficulties in real-world situations, like noisy restaurants. The goal was to see if the app could collect useful data on how the implant performs outside the clinic. Fifty-one experienced…

This study followed 51 adults who received a wider bone-anchored hearing implant (BIA300) to see how well it stayed in place and worked after 10 years. Researchers measured implant stability and checked for any skin or tissue problems. The goal was to see if the wider design is a…

This completed study tested whether a virtual reality training program could improve the ability to locate sounds in people with hearing loss. 79 participants performed sound localization tasks with and without visual feedback. The goal was to see if training could reduce pointin…
