What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers are studying how often children with sensorineural hearing loss also have problems with their balance system. The study enrolls 48 children aged 3 to 10 with hearing loss in one or both ears. Children complete questionnaires and a series of balance and inner-ear tests, including video head impulse testing and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, to measure how well their balance organs work.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the tests detect balance problems in these children, doctors could start checking inner-ear balance as a routine part of hearing loss care.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study of 48 children, so it can only describe what researchers see in this group. It cannot prove that hearing loss causes balance problems or that testing changes outcomes.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

A prospective, unselected group of children in the age of 3-10 years with either unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss is recruited at The Audiologic Clinic at Viborg Regional Hospital, Denmark. We intend to include all consecutive children fitting the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children in the age of 3-10 years * Uni- or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss \> 20 dB bone conduction pure tone average measured at frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz * Written informed consent from the parents. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous inner ear surgery * Visual impairment to such a degree that the child is not able to maintain fixation on a dot one meter away. * Congenital nystagmus * Compromised eye muscle mobility * VEMP-electrode allergy * History of symptomatic head or neck trauma * Prescription of medicine which alters vestibular outputs (for instance sedative antihistamines)
