Cochlear

This study tests a new totally implantable cochlear implant system (TICI G2) that has a microphone under the skin, so you can hear without any external devices. Researchers will enroll 18 adults with sensorineural hearing loss to see how well the internal microphone works over ti…

This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely hidden under the skin, with no external processor. It is designed for adults with severe hearing loss who do not get enough benefit from hearing aids. The implant picks up sound through a microphone under the skin…

This study looks at whether cochlear implants are safe and effective for adults with severe hearing loss in both ears who currently don't meet standard implant criteria. Fifty participants will receive an implant and be followed for 6 months to measure improvements in word recogn…

This study tests new speech-enhancement software in cochlear implants to help adults with hearing loss understand speech better in noisy places. About 150 adult cochlear implant users will compare the new algorithms to the standard ones. The goal is to see if the new software imp…

This study tests experimental sound coding strategies that may improve hearing for adult cochlear implant users. About 120 participants will compare the new strategies to their current settings, focusing on understanding speech in noisy environments. The goal is to find ways to m…

This study tests a new cochlear implant that slowly releases a drug called dexamethasone to reduce swelling and tissue damage after surgery. The goal is to see if this helps the implant work better and improve hearing in adults with severe hearing loss. About 56 adults will recei…

This study tests a new cochlear implant that slowly releases dexamethasone, a drug that reduces inflammation after surgery. The goal is to see if it works better than a standard implant for adults with severe hearing loss. About 48 adults will be randomly assigned to get either t…

This study looks at whether managing cochlear implant care remotely (via phone or app) works as well as going to the clinic. About 148 adults with hearing loss will be followed for a year after their implant is activated. The goal is to see if remote care saves time and money whi…
