ENACT Program on Auditory Perception and Function, Cognitive Function and Health-related Quality of Life
Although previous studies indicated that tackling hearing loss may have a secondary benefit in improving cognitive function and delaying the onset of dementia, a more integrated care approach to optimize both hearing and cognitive function may be needed for individuals who already developed cognitive decline. To address the dual care …
SPI-1005 in Adults Receiving Cochlear Implant
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of drug SPI-1005 in adults receiving a cochlear implant with a long electrode array (FLEX26 or greater) from MED-EL Cochlear Implant Systems into one ear. The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is: Is drug SPI-1005 …
AI Noise Reduction in Phonak Hearing Aids
The purpose of this study is to determine if artificial intelligence- based noise reduction can offer objective improvement in hearing and speech perception for hearing impaired patients.
Investigation of Sky Automatic Technologies in Pediatrics
The hypothesis of this research is that the AS Target setting provides the best estimate of the settings required to optimize listening in noise. As such, it is expected that speech in noise performance will be best in the AS Target condition, followed by the AS Clinic condition, and the …
Intracochlear Application of VSF1.01 for the Reduction of Cochlear Implant Surgery Related Trauma
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety of intracochlear application of VSF1.01 for the reduction of cochlear implant surgery related trauma in patients with profound hearing loss with or without non-functional residual hearing in low frequencies and cochlear implantation. The main questions it aims to answer …
Listening Effort in Cochlear Implant Users
People with hearing loss experience extra effort when listening, which can lead to severe psychological barriers to communication and social participation. Listening effort can lead to fatigue, mental strain, burnout, medical sick leave, and the need for increased time to recover from regular daily activities. This proposal aims to understand …
Innovations in Hearing Accessibility and Technology (IHAT) Study
The research will explore outcomes of different service delivery models of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids by comparing them to prescription hearing aids fitted by specialists in individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. The investigators will examine how each type affects users' experiences, behavior, thinking skills, and brain activity related …
Clinical Utility of Residual Hearing in the Cochlear Implant Ear
The current study is a randomized multi-center clinical trial that investigates the role an intraoperative hearing monitoring system (electrocochleography) has on helping to save residual hearing in patients undergoing cochlear implantation (CI).
Restauration of the Auditory and Cognitive Functions in Cochlear Implanted Deaf Children in fNIRS
The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the cortical developement of perceptual skills and executive functions over time, in children with cochlear implants aged 10-24 months and 3-7 years compared with normally hearing subjects (NHS). To do this, the investigator will use functional Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS) during …
Perceptual Consequences of Cochlear Implant Electrode-neuron Interfaces
Despite the success of cochlear implants, devices surgically placed in the inner ears of patients with severe hearing loss, there remains substantial variability in the overall speech perception outcomes for the children and adults who receive them. The main goals of this project are: i) to improve our understanding of …
