NCT ID NCT03738592

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how children aged 8 to 17 with two cochlear implants locate sounds in three-dimensional space. Using virtual reality and motion tracking, researchers measured pointing accuracy and head movements during sound tasks. The goal was to better understand spatial hearing challenges in these children, which could lead to new rehabilitation methods. No treatment was given; the study focused on observation and measurement.
