Ankle hearing test may spot rare ear disorder
NCT ID NCT07384091
First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a simple vibration test at the ankle can identify superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) in people who hear their own body sounds or have pulsatile tinnitus. Thirty adults will undergo the test, and researchers will check if it accurately detects SCDS. If it works, it could offer a quicker, less invasive way to diagnose this condition.
