Implant trial aims to restore balance to lopsided hearing
NCT ID NCT03052920
Summary
This study tested whether giving a cochlear implant to the worse-hearing ear could help adults who have one good ear and one very poor ear. Forty participants tried using the implant along with a hearing aid in their better ear. Researchers measured if this combination improved their ability to understand speech, locate sounds, and improved their quality of life over one year.
