NCT ID NCT06662058
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether offering hearing tests close to home or remotely increases how many head and neck cancer patients get their hearing checked during treatment. Many patients on cisplatin chemotherapy or radiation near the ear can lose hearing, but not all complete recommended monitoring. The trial will compare participation rates among 118 adults receiving these treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote hearing tests help more patients get monitored for hearing loss during cancer treatment, potentially leading to earlier detection and prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on participation rates, not on preventing hearing loss itself. Results may not apply to all cancer types or treatments.
