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 Results may not be published yet.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 compares two common hearing screening methods—pure-tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions—in over 13,000 preschool children. The goal is to determine which method is better at identifying hearing loss early, so children can get the help they need to avoid speech and language delays. All children will receive both tests, and researchers will compare how well each method works in a real-world preschool setting.

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 could identify the most effective hearing screening method for preschoolers, leading to earlier detection and intervention for hearing loss.
What could go wrong
This is a large observational study comparing existing screening methods, not testing a new treatment. The results may show no clear advantage of one method over the other.
