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

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.

Summary

This completed study tested custom in-the-ear hearing aids in 24 adults with mild-to-moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss. Participants were experienced hearing aid users who tried the study device and compared it to their own hearing aids. The goal was to measure speech understanding in quiet and noisy settings using standard hearing tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
In-the-Ear Hearing Aid
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that custom in-the-ear hearing aids improve speech understanding in quiet and noisy settings for people with hearing loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed post-market follow-up study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to all hearing aid users. No major risks are expected since the device is already on the market.

Inclusion Criteria: * Sensorineural hearing loss, mild-to-moderately severe (Pure tone average of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz \<65). * Hearing loss should fall within fitting range of study hearing aid * Subjects should be experienced hearing aid users who have had and used hearing aids daily for at least 1 year. * Air-Bone-Gap should be less or equal to 20 dB. * Asymmetry between left and right ear should not exceed 20dB for frequencies in the range of 250Hz to 4kHz * Healthy (outer and middle) ear * Older than 18 years * German is mother tongue * Able to understand the instructions * Willing to participate in laboratory tests and to wear the study HAs at home for 2 weeks * Informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication for HA treatment * Fluctuating or rapidly progressing hearing loss * "Central" hearing problems * Limited mobility * Limited dexterity (in handling the HA) * Known psychological or cognitive problems * Subjects must not show any injuries or a complete perforation of the ear drum.
