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 Results may not be published yet.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

This study tests a new Bluetooth Low Energy Audio feature in Nucleus 8 and Kanso 3 sound processors for cochlear implants. Twenty experienced adult users will try wireless microphones at home and in the lab to see if they can hear speech better in noisy places like classrooms. The goal is to improve everyday listening without needing extra equipment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bluetooth Low Energy Audio firmware and wireless microphone accessories (Multi-Mic+, Roger 20)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve speech understanding in noisy environments for cochlear implant users, making everyday conversations easier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all users. The new firmware might not work as well as expected or could have technical issues.
