NCT ID NCT03685461

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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study looked at how the inner ear responds to sound during and after cochlear implant surgery in 88 participants. Researchers used a noninvasive test called electrocochleography to measure electrical activity in the cochlea. The goal was to see if these measurements could help predict how well the implant will work after surgery.

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 successful, this research could help doctors better predict how well a cochlear implant will work after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only gathers information and may not lead to direct improvements for patients.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Pure-tone audiometry thresholds ≤80 dB HL at 500 Hz * One year of age and older * Normal candidacy requirements for cochlear implantation met * No cochlear abnormality that might prevent full insertion of the CI electrode array * No additional handicap that would prevent study procedures from being followed Exclusion Criteria: * Chronic otitis media * Malformed cochlea * Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) * Presence of ear tubes * Prior middle ear surgeries or trauma including disruption of ossicles
