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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a virtual reality training program (KidTrain) designed to help children aged 7-17 with bilateral cochlear implants improve their ability to locate sounds and understand speech in noisy environments. The training uses immersive VR with varying background noise and visual cues. Researchers will measure changes in spatial hearing, speech perception, and quality of life after 4 sessions. The study also includes normal-hearing children as a comparison group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual reality spatial hearing training program (KidTrain)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new rehabilitation tool to help children with cochlear implants better locate sounds and understand speech in noisy environments, improving daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 56 participants and no control group for the training itself. Results may not generalize, and the benefits seen in adults may not fully apply to children.
