Brain wave test could reveal hidden hearing problems in children
NCT ID NCT06402994
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to measure speech understanding in children with hearing loss using brain wave recordings (EEG). Instead of asking kids to repeat words, the CORGEE software tracks how the brain follows speech sounds. The goal is to create an objective hearing test for children who cannot easily take standard hearing tests, such as infants and toddlers.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
EEG-based neural speech tracking software (CORGEE)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, objective hearing test for children who cannot participate in standard speech tests, helping diagnose hearing problems earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on measuring brain responses, not a treatment. The approach may not be accurate enough for clinical use or may not work for all types of hearing loss.
