Cochlear

This study tests a new cochlear implant that slowly releases a drug called dexamethasone to reduce inflammation after surgery. The goal is to see if it works better than a standard implant for adults with severe hearing loss. About 48 adults will be randomly assigned to get eithe…

This study tests a new cochlear implant that slowly releases a drug called dexamethasone to reduce inflammation and tissue damage after surgery. The goal is to see if this helps the implant work better for hearing. The trial involves 56 adults with severe hearing loss. Participan…

This study is testing whether a cochlear implant can safely improve hearing in 50 adults with severe hearing loss in both ears who currently don't meet the usual criteria for this implant. Participants will get the implant and then have their hearing tested over several visits. T…

This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely hidden under the skin, with no external sound processor. It is for adults with severe hearing loss due to inner ear or nerve damage. The goal is to see if this implant can improve speech understanding and hearing …

This study tests new speech enhancement algorithms in 150 adult cochlear implant users to improve hearing in noisy environments. Participants will compare the new algorithms to standard care by completing hearing tests. The goal is to develop better sound processing strategies fo…

This study tests new sound coding strategies that may improve hearing for adult cochlear implant users. 120 participants will compare the new strategies to their current settings, focusing on understanding speech in noisy environments. The goal is to find ways to make hearing cle…

This study looks at whether managing cochlear implant patients remotely (via phone app and video calls) works as well as standard in-clinic visits during the first year after activation. About 148 adults with hearing loss will be followed for 12 months. The goal is to see if remo…
