This study tests whether a smarter electrical stimulation device can help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. Participants with moderate arm weakness will be randomly assigned to receive either standard cyclic stimulation or a new EMG-triggered stimulation that r…

This study compares two ways of tuning cochlear implants to see which helps adults with hearing loss understand speech better, especially in noisy settings. About 25 French-speaking adults who have had a cochlear implant for six months will try both settings. The goal is to find …

This study compares two methods for tuning cochlear implants: a standard tonotopic-based setting (FS4T) and a new setting adjusted by an evolutionary algorithm (EAFS4T). Researchers want to see which one helps 22 adults with hearing loss understand speech better, especially in no…

This study compares two ways of tuning cochlear implants for people who also use a hearing aid in the other ear. The new method aims to match the implant's sound processing to the natural pitch map of the ear. Twenty adults with hearing loss will try both tuning methods to see wh…

This study compares two fitting methods for people who use a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. One method synchronizes the devices, the other does not. Researchers want to see if synchronization helps with sound localization and speech understanding in n…

This study looks at whether stimulating deeper parts of the inner ear with a cochlear implant helps people hear music better. About 32 adults with hearing loss who already qualify for a cochlear implant will test two different stimulation depths. The goal is to see if the deeper …

This study tests a software tool called OTOGUIDE that helps surgeons monitor the placement of a cochlear implant electrode during surgery. Currently, surgeons lack real-time feedback on where the electrode is inside the cochlea, which can affect hearing outcomes. The trial will c…

This study is gathering information from 100 children and adults who use MED-EL hearing devices, including implants and non-implantable devices. Researchers will collect data on hearing ability, speech understanding, and quality of life through tests and questionnaires. The goal …
