HEARING LOSS, SENSORINEURAL

This study tests whether using an ECochG-based guide during cochlear implant surgery helps preserve more natural hearing and inner ear structure compared to standard surgery. About 102 adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss will take part. The goal is to improve hearing outc…

This study tests whether a special monitoring system (electrocochleography) used during cochlear implant surgery can help save some natural hearing. About 40 adults with severe hearing loss in both ears will be randomly assigned to receive the monitoring or standard care. The goa…

This study looks at how well cochlear implants work over three years for people with hearing loss in only one ear or uneven hearing between ears. Participants will get a cochlear implant and have their hearing tested in noisy situations. The goal is to see if the implant helps th…

This study follows 300 deaf patients of any age who receive a cochlear implant. Researchers will measure hearing, speech, and quality of life before and after the implant to see how well it works for different age groups. The goal is to create better, personalized rehabilitation …

This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that has a microphone placed under the skin, so there are no external parts on the ear. It is for 18 adults with hearing loss caused by inner ear damage. Researchers will check how well the implant picks up sound and how hearing cha…

This study will compare two hearing screening methods in about 14,000 preschool children to see which one is better at finding hearing loss. The goal is to identify hearing problems early so children can get help and avoid speech and language delays. Children will be tested using…

This study tests a new training program called SEBAR to see if it helps people feel more confident and satisfied with over-the-counter hearing aids. About 27 adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss who have never used hearing aids will take part. Participants will complete ques…

This study tests a 3-month at-home listening training program called BEARS for children aged 8-16 who have two cochlear implants. The goal is to see if it helps them understand speech in noisy environments, reduces listening effort, and improves quality of life. Participants will…

This study looks at whether inner-ear balance (vestibular) problems make reading harder for children with hearing loss. Researchers will test 90 children with and without hearing loss to measure their balance and reading skills. The goal is to understand if treating balance issue…

This study looks at how different hearing aid settings affect speech understanding in older adults with Alzheimer's disease or mild memory problems. Researchers want to see if simpler, high-quality sound processing works better than advanced features for people with limited cogni…
