X-linked mixed hearing loss with perilymphatic gusher

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 …

This study tests whether infusing a child's own stored umbilical cord blood stem cells is safe for children with acquired sensorineural hearing loss. The trial enrolls children with moderate to profound hearing loss and aims to see if the infusion can improve inner ear function, …
