New study aims to take the guesswork out of cochlear implant adjustments

NCT ID NCT07371299

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether objective measurements, like the stapedius reflex, can help doctors program cochlear implants more precisely. Currently, tuning relies on patients describing what they hear, which can be subjective. Researchers will test 60 adults with severe hearing loss to see if these objective measures match the patient's preferred comfort levels. The goal is to make implant adjustments faster and more reliable.

Inclusion Criteria: Incident case cohort: * Age ≥ 18 years (18 years or older) * Scheduled for first-time unilateral cochlear implantation within the next 3 months * Informed about the study and did not object (non-opposition) Cross-sectional sample of prevalent cases: * Age ≥ 18 years (18 years or older) * Underwent unilateral cochlear implantation more than 1 year ago * Has used the implant for more than 1 year (interval between implantation surgery and study inclusion \> 1 year) * Informed about the study and did not object (non-opposition) Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion Criteria - applies to both the incident case cohort and the cross-sectional sample of prevalent cases: * Prior middle or inner ear surgery * Cognitive impairment or insufficient comprehension of French that would prevent understanding of study procedures or accurate measurement of comfort thresholds during programming * Peripheral facial palsy * Bilateral cochlear implantation * Patient under legal guardianship/court-ordered protection Additional exclusion - cross-sectional sample of prevalent cases only: \- More than half of the electrodes not inserted (i.e., \<50% electrode insertion) Secondary exclusion criteria - Incident case cohort: * More than half of the electrodes not inserted (\<50% electrode insertion) * Postoperative peripheral facial nerve palsy following the implantation surgery
