NCT ID NCT02204618
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a cochlear implant is a good value for people who are deaf in one ear or have severe hearing loss in one ear. Participants first tried other hearing devices, and if those didn't work, they were randomly assigned to get a cochlear implant right away or wait six months. The study measured quality of life and hearing ability to see which approach was better.
