HEARING LOSS, SENSORINEURAL

This study looks at how safe and helpful cochlear implants are over three years for people aged 5 and older who are deaf in one ear or have uneven hearing. Participants get a cochlear implant and are tested on understanding speech in noisy settings. The goal is to see if the impl…

This study follows 300 deaf patients of all ages who are getting a cochlear implant. Researchers will test hearing, speech, and quality of life before and after the implant to see how well it works for different age groups. The goal is to create better, personalized rehabilitatio…

This study tests a new cochlear implant system that is completely implanted under the skin, so no external microphone or processor is needed. It involves 18 adults with sensorineural hearing loss who already qualify for a cochlear implant. Researchers will check how well the inte…

This study tests whether using an ECochG-based guide during cochlear implant surgery helps preserve natural hearing and inner ear structure better than the usual approach. About 102 adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss will take part. The goal is to improve hearing outcome…

This study will compare two hearing screening methods in about 14,000 preschool children to see which one works better at finding hearing loss early. Early detection can help prevent speech and language delays. The goal is to identify the most effective screening approach for com…

This study tests a new training program called SEBAR to see if it helps people feel more confident and satisfied with over-the-counter hearing aids. About 27 adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss who have never used hearing aids will take part. Participants will complete ques…

This study tests a 3-month at-home listening training program called BEARS for children aged 8-16 who have two cochlear implants. The goal is to see if it helps them understand speech in noisy environments, reduces listening effort, and improves quality of life. Participants will…

This study looks at whether a special monitoring system used during cochlear implant surgery can help save a person's remaining natural hearing. About 40 adults with severe hearing loss in both ears will take part. Researchers will measure hearing changes over two years to see if…

This study looks at whether inner-ear balance problems (vestibular loss) make it harder for children with hearing loss to learn to read. Researchers will test 90 children's vision during head movement and their reading skills. The goal is to understand if balance issues are an ov…

This study looks at how different hearing aid settings affect speech understanding in older adults with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if simpler, high-quality sound processing works better than advanced features for people with memory a…
