Immunity After Cochlear Implantation and Perilymph Molecular Profiles in Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Many patients receiving cochlear implant (CI) have some residual hearing prior to implantation surgery. However, approximately one third of them will lose it in next 6 months after cochlear implantation. Although the mechanisms involved in the residual audition loss remain unknown, animal experiments suggest the role of inflammatory or immune …
Surgical-Clinical Correlation in Unilateral Conductive Hearing Loss With Intact Tympanic Membrane
Unilateral conductive hearing loss (UCHL) in the presence of an intact tympanic membrane represents a diagnostic challenge in otologic practice. In the absence of middle ear effusion or tympanic membrane pathology, stapes fixation secondary to otosclerosis is often considered the most probable diagnosis. However, although otosclerosis is traditionally regarded as …
Improving Speech in Noise Perception for Individuals With Age-related Hearing Loss
Hearing loss, especially for speech perception in the presence of noise, may lead older individuals to withdraw from social situations. While hearing aids help amplify sound and are useful in many situations, they can be ineffective in noisy contexts. The proposed pilot study will evaluate taVNS for improving speech in …
Evaluation of Cochlear Implantation in Unilateral or Asymmetric Hearing Loss in Children.
This is an open label, phase II study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Reparixin in patients with DIPSS intermediate-2, or high-risk primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post essential thrombocythemia/polycythemia vera related MF (Post ET/PV MF) after prior treatment, and those who are ineligible or refuse treatment, with a Janus …
Deafness and Cognition in Middle-aged Adults
A mild cognitive impairment was observed in 50% of cochlear implant candidates aged 65 years and over, compared to 5-19% in general population. No studies analysed cognition in patients younger than 65 years. The aim of our study was to compare cognitive function between patients with severe and profound hearing …
A Study of Treatment for Medulloblastoma Using Sodium Thiosulfate to Reduce Hearing Loss
This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower …
New Approach to Objectively Measure Social Engagement in Older Adults With Hearing Loss
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hearing devices, like hearing aids, affect social and cognitive function of older adults. The main questions the researchers want to answer are: How social are older adults with hearing loss before and after using hearing devices? How well do older …
Vestibular and Postural Function in an Unselected Group of Children With Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will …
Non-Invasive System to Deliver Therapeutic Hypothermia for Protection Against Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
The goal of this interventional clinical study is to investigate the use of mild therapeutic hypothermia devices for preservation of sensory structures in the cochlea after noise exposure. The main aims of the study are: To test the safety and best duration for use for a new hypothermia device. To …
Relationship Between LS Chirp ABR and Speech-in-Noise Skills in Hidden Hearing Loss
It is known that the underlying problem in Hidden Hearing Loss (HHL) is cochlear synaptopathy (CS) and that low-spontaneous-rate auditory nerve fibers play an important role in this pathology. Therefore, it is suggested that low-spontaneous-rate auditory nerve fibers are damaged in HHL. Consequently, LS CE-Chirp-evoked ABR and HINT, which assesses …
