Hearing and Structure Preservation Via ECochG
The goal of the study is to determine the benefit of using an ECochG-based corrective action guide during cochlear implant surgery compared to the traditional surgical approach without ECochG surveillance and guidance.
Sound Perception Study of Hearing-impaired People With Hearing Aids
The aim of the ETERNEL project will be to study the influence of the perception of a single sound timbre on the understanding of a complex sound scene in hearing-impaired people with hearing aids. This will be done by quantifying the inability to manage a complex sound scene as a …
Acupuncture Therapy for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The goal of this multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with corticosteroid therapy in treating sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does acupuncture combined with corticosteroids improve hearing recovery (pure tone audiometry, PTA) at …
Oral Statins and Protection From Hearing Loss
A small clinical trial for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). Will the addition of an oral statin to the standard treatment (oral methylprednesolone and the salvage therapy of intratympanic dexamethasone) improve the treatment outcome for patients with ISSNHL? This study will compare the two treatments and quantitatively evaluate hearing …
Comparative Study of Inclined Treadmill and Dynamic Cycling on Balace in Hearing Impaired Children.
Hearing loss is generally identified initially in life leading to difficulties in communication. In children, vestibular dysfunctions can cause a deficit in gross motor development and balance stability. At an early age, delayed gross motor development can cause impairment in the bilateral vestibular system and sensorineural hearing. The children with …
Benefits of Choir for Older Adults With Unaddressed Hearing Loss (WP2)
Unaddressed age-related hearing loss is highly prevalent among older adults, typified by negative consequences for speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. There is promising evidence that group singing may enhance speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. However, there is a lack of robust evidence, primarily due to the literature being based on …
Effectiveness Comparison of 3D-Printed and Conventional Ear Tip Comfort in Individuals With Hearing Loss
Access to affordable and timely hearing healthcare remains a major challenge for many individuals, partly due to the high cost and long turnaround time. This study will explore whether 3D-printed ear tips perform as well as or better than standard ear tips in terms of sound quality, comfort, and fit …
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Oral and Intratympanic Corticosteroid Treatments in Patients Diagnosed With Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which one works to treat better in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, oral or intratympanic corticosteroid treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: Which corticosteroid treatment is more effective in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, oral or …
Natural History in Children up to 16 Years With Mild to Profound Hearing Loss Due to Mutations in GJB2 / OTOF Genes
The purpose of this study is to follow the natural history of non-syndromic hearing loss caused by mutations in two genes (GJB2 or OTOF) in children up to 16 years of age.
Study of Viral Transduction of Human Auditory Sensory Cells for the Development of Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is a promising strategy to treat hearing loss and vestibular disorders, and Associated adenovirus (AAV) is shown as a good viral vector for inner ear therapy in animal models. This study aims to study in vitro viral transduction of AAV in human inner ear cells, collected during non-conservative …
