NCT ID NCT02534298

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study used brain scans (fMRI) to understand how the brain reorganizes itself when a person is deaf in one ear. Researchers looked at 30 right-handed adults with single-sided deafness to see how their brains process sound differently. The goal was to link brain changes with real-world hearing difficulties, like understanding speech in noisy places.
