It is believed to have three functions: 1) ventilation of and pressure equalization in the middle ear cavity, 2) mucus drainage from the middle ear, and 3) protection against sound and infection from …
Place-based Cochlear Implant Mapping
The current standard of care approach for programming cochlear implants uses a generalized pitch-map for all patients. This approach fails to account for individualized inner ear anatomy. As a result, many cochlear implant recipients experience place-pitch mismatch. We have recently developed an automated mathematical tool to produce patient-specific, customized cochlear …
Remote Support for Cochlear Implant Recipients: Evaluation of the HearCare MED-EL App
This clinical investigation intends to assess safety and performance of the HearCare MED-EL App, a remote care option for recipients of MED-EL cochlear implants
Verification of the Efficacy/Safety of the Intratympanic Drug Delivery for Hearing Loss
This study is a prospective, randomized pilot study. To verify an efficacy and safety of the Intratympanic drug delivery vehicle, patients who have not responded to the existing standard treatment will be enrolled. Hearing test, endoscopy of tympanic membrane and CT scans will be conducted after intratympanic treatment for evaluation.
Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Cochlear Implantation in Children and Adults With Unilateral Hearing Loss/Single-sided Deafness
The aim of the study is to assess the continued efficacy and safety of cochlear implantation in participants aged 5 years and above with Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL)/Single Sided Deafness (SSD) supporting a change indication for use.
