NCT ID NCT04741009
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new cochlear implant (CI632) in 10 adults who have some low-frequency hearing but poor high-frequency hearing. The goal was to see if the implant improves speech understanding and overall hearing. Participants received the implant and were followed to measure hearing performance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
CI632 cochlear implant with Slim Modiolar Electrode
What this could lead to
If successful, this implant could help adults with low-frequency hearing loss hear speech more clearly, expanding who can benefit from cochlear implants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The implant is a device, not a cure, and hearing may still require ongoing management.
