fNIRS in Pediatric Hearing Aids
Pilot phase. Monocentric, non-controlled, non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the capacity of the functional near-infrared functional neuroimaging (fNIRS) technique to translate temporal cortical activity in response to a speech stimulus in normo-hearing and deaf children with cochlear implants. Hemodynamic changes are expected to be observed that indicate brain activity following the …
Telemonitoring in Cochlear Implant Patient Care
Following a sufficient delay after the cochlear implantation and initial implant activation, the patient will return to the hospital for follow-up visits for equipment maintenance and auditory performance evaluation only once per year. This frequency might appear either insufficient, in which case an additional patient check-up will be arranged, or …
Improving Access and Affordability of Adult Hearing Healthcare
This project will address quality of care issues associated with hearing loss in adults who have mild-to-moderate hearing loss and who have no access to hearing healthcare. Through the use of three different interventions involving personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), it will lead to options that will increase access and …
Improving Spatial Perception and Speech Understanding in Multitalker Mixtures
The purpose of this study is to investigate several approaches for improving spatial perception and speech intelligibility in multitalker listening situations for hearing-aid users. The hypotheses are that spatial perception and speech intelligibility will be improved by (1) increased high-frequency audibility, (2) speech envelope enhancement, and/or (3) appropriate sound image …
Auditory-Cognitive Training to Optimize Outcomes for Older CI Users
The proposed study will investigate whether an auditory brain training program can improve cochlear implant (CI) outcomes in older post-lingually deafened CI users. The study will evaluate the potential benefit of training on speech recognition performance, psychosocial and cognitive function.
New Algorithms to Signal Processing for Speech Enhancement in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to develop pre-processing strategies to enhance speech and reduce noise for CI listeners. The Master Umbrella Clinical Investigation will be comprised of several sub-investigations, which will aim to optimize speech enhancement algorithms, to improve real-world functionality, and to incorporate them efficiently into CI …
Coding of Speech Signals in the Human Auditory Nerve
The fine evaluation of the function of auditory neurons in silence and in noise in humans is difficult, if not impossible, to date with the conventional methods available. That is why in certain situations, the hearing aids of patient with hearing loss fail, especially in the presence of noise. In …
Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness of a Community-based Hearing Aid Fitting Service Delivery Model Facilitated by Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) Providing Smartphone-based In-situ and Pre-set Hearing Aid Fittings in Low- and Middle-income Communities (LMICs)
The purpose of this study is to advance hearing care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through the rigorous evaluation and optimization of innovative interventions and technologies. This study encompasses the following key aim: This study aims to establish the effectiveness of community-based hearing aid fittings facilitated by community healthcare …
An Investigation to Validate Speech Perception Assessment for Adult Cochlear Recipients Using a Mobile Research App
The study is a feasibility, prospective, repeated-measures, multi-country, multi-centre, study of the Mobile Research App to measure and validate speech perception endpoints in adult cochlear implant recipients.
Testing the Addition of Pedmark to Cisplatin Chemotherapy for Reducing Drug-Induced Ear Damage in Men With Stage II-III Metastatic Testicular Germ Cell Tumors
This phase I trial evaluates whether adding Pedmark to standard of care cisplatin-based chemotherapy reduces drug-induced ear damage (ototoxicity) in men with stage II-III testicular germ cell tumors that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cisplatin is in a class …
