Comparing the Efficacy of Domestic Versus Imported Hearing Aids in ARHL
This study compares the hearing improvement effects of domestic hearing aids and imported hearing aids in 80 patients with moderate to severe and severe age-related hearing loss. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (domestic hearing aids) or the control group (imported hearing aids) and will undergo …
Binaural Cue Sensitivity in Children and Adults With Combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation
There is a rapidly growing population of adult and pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients with acoustic hearing preservation in the implanted ear(s) allowing for combined Electric and binaural Acoustic Stimulation (EAS). Despite the rapid technological and surgical advancements that have led to this increased prevalence, there is limited research on …

The Effect of PAP on ISSHL Comorbided With OSA
This clinical randomized controlled study is to explore the effect of positive airway pressure(PAP) on patients in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital diagnosed with both idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss comorbided(ISSHL) and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) between Dec. 2019 to Dec. 2029.
Assessing the Effect of Computer-based Auditory Training on Adult Cochlear Implant Speech and Quality-of-life Outcomes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI …
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 …
Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, …
Clinical Trial to Compare Two Surgical Approaches to the Cochlea
This is a prospective multicenter multinational randomized control trial. The duration of the study for the individual patient will be approximately 1 year (pre-operative assessments, 1 week, 3 months and 12 months follow-up assessments). Participants will be randomized to one of two surgical approaches: eRW or CO, with a 1:1 …
MED-EL Remote Care Multi-Center Feasibility Study
MED-EL Remote Care is a way for MED-EL cochlear implant users to check their hearing and cochlear implant device from any location, without the need for a scheduled, in-person appointment with their audiologist. This study will assess the effectiveness, efficiencies, and useability of MED-EL Remote Care.
Cochlear Implant Speech in Noise Processing
The study will help us in understanding the neural mechanisms by which listeners with a cochlear implant detect speech in noisy environments.
