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 Results may not be published yet.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 whether targeted auditory training exercises can improve hearing in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Many with mTBI struggle to hear clearly in noisy environments or locate where sounds come from. Researchers will enroll 80 adults aged 18-55 and have them complete either speech-in-noise training or spatial hearing training on a tablet. The goal is to see if these exercises improve hearing test scores and brain responses to sound.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
auditory training exercises (speech-in-noise training and spatial hearing training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simple, drug-free way to improve hearing for people with mild traumatic brain injury, especially veterans and soldiers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training might not improve hearing enough to make a real-world difference.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 80 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2024

Expected to finish

Sep 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 to 55 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-55 years * English is the primary language * History of mTBI by self report Exclusion Criteria: * Pure tone threshold (mean of 0.5-4.0 kHz) \> 40dB HL * Major neurological or psychiatric conditions besides mTBI
