NCT ID NCT05110183
First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding light to standard electrical cochlear implants can improve hearing. Researchers will insert special light-delivery devices into the inner ear of 30 adults who are already having ear tumor surgery. They will measure how well the auditory nerve responds to light, electricity, and both together. The goal is to see if light can safely and effectively stimulate hearing nerves for better sound quality.
