New digital audiometer could make hearing tests easier and more accessible
NCT ID NCT07458477
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new digital audiometer called Hearing Space against the standard AC40 device to see if it can accurately measure hearing loss. Researchers will test 52 adults in an ENT department, checking both pure-tone and speech recognition thresholds. The goal is to see if the digital device, which can self-calibrate, gives results as reliable as the conventional machine.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hearing Space digital audiometer
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a self-calibrating digital audiometer is a reliable, accessible alternative for hearing tests, potentially expanding screening options.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage comparison study (52 participants) focused on accuracy, not treatment. The digital device may not match the gold standard in all cases, and results may not apply to all populations.
