Ph.D.-Project: Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis
Background The Eustachian Tube (ET) is a mucosa-lined connection between the nasopharynx and the middle ear cavity. 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 …
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.
Natural History in Children up to 10 Years With Moderate 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 10 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 …
High Frequency ABR
This study is looking at a method called 'ABR', which measures the electrical activity in the brain (brain waves) when we hear sounds. This study will look at the electrical activity in participants brains in response to high-pitched sounds. First, the investigators will find the quietest sounds the participants can …
Collection of Clinical Data and Specimens for Research in Hearing, Balance, Taste, Smell, Voice, Speech, and Language Disorders.
Background People with hearing, balance, and taste, smell, voice, speech, language, and other Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) disorders may seek treatment at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Some of these people may benefit from enrolling in the NIDCD intramural research program to receive their …
Natural History of Autosomal Dominant Hearing Loss
Background Hereditary hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disabilities affecting newborns. The main options for people with hereditary hearing loss are hearing aids and cochlear implants. Both options have their limitations and do not restore biological hearing. Researchers want to learn if gene editing might be a …
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Wonju Severance Christian Hospital
This study is to build a cohort of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) patients. When the patient visited the Department of otolaryngology clinic for hearing loss, we can diagnose the SSNHL following the result of pure tone audiometry and the history of the patient. The cohort is a system that …
NIDCD Otolaryngology Clinical Protocol Biospecimen Bank
Background Many disorders of the head and neck can affect a person s hearing; balance; smell; taste; swallowing; voice; or speech. These disorders include cancers and genetic and inflammatory diseases. To find better ways to diagnose and treat these disorders, researchers need to study tissues and other biological samples from …
