X-linked mixed hearing loss with perilymphatic gusher

This study tests whether programming a cochlear implant based on each person's unique inner ear structure improves hearing compared to the standard one-size-fits-all approach. Adults with severe to profound hearing loss who already have a MED-EL cochlear implant will receive both…

This study tests whether Yiyuancong, a traditional Chinese medicine made from food-like ingredients, can help people with sudden hearing loss. About 128 adults aged 18-60 will take the formula for 1-2 months, and their hearing will be measured with standard tests. The goal is to …

This study tests whether acetylcysteine, a drug often used for other purposes, can prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin chemotherapy. About 40 adults receiving high-dose cisplatin will get either acetylcysteine or a placebo after each chemo session. Researchers will measure h…

This trial tests whether programming a cochlear implant based on the individual's inner ear anatomy (anatomy-based fitting) improves speech understanding in noisy environments and music perception compared to standard programming. The study enrolls adults with single-sided deafne…

This study tests whether programming a cochlear implant based on a person's inner ear anatomy improves hearing compared to the standard approach. Participants are adults with severe hearing loss who use a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. Researchers wil…

This study is testing whether changing the low-frequency settings on a cochlear implant can improve hearing for people who are deaf in one ear but have normal hearing in the other. Twenty-two adults will try four different sound maps during their first month after implant activat…

This study tests whether a 20-minute session of passive music therapy, delivered through an app just before entering the operating room, can lower anxiety and pain in adults undergoing ear, nose, or throat surgery. Five hundred participants will be randomly assigned to receive mu…

This study follows 19 adults with hearing loss who already received a cochlear implant that releases a steroid to reduce inflammation. Researchers will check how well the implant works over 5 years by measuring electrical signals and tracking any side effects. The goal is to see …

This study analyzes dried blood spots from 630 newborns to find protein and RNA markers that could predict which babies with congenital CMV will develop hearing loss or other problems. Researchers will compare samples from infected babies who had complications, those who did not,…

This study aims to understand why people with Turner syndrome often lose their hearing. Researchers will look at genetic and epigenetic markers in 150 adults aged 18-60. Participants will have hearing, balance, blood, and imaging tests. The goal is to find new ways to treat or de…

This study explores whether a test that measures brain waves in response to visual images can be used in a new way for people with hearing loss. Researchers will compare these brain responses to standard hearing tests and thinking skills tests. The goal is to see if this test can…
