Brain drain: do kids with cochlear implants work harder to listen?
NCT ID NCT07509788
First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This observational study looks at how much mental energy children aged 6-18 with cochlear implants use when listening, and whether that extra effort slows their brain development over three years. Researchers will compare 240 children with cochlear implants to 120 children with normal hearing using safe, painless brain scans and eye-tracking during listening tasks. The study does not test any new treatment—it aims to help doctors understand when these children need extra support.
