Open-label Study of SKY-GJB2 in Pediatric Subjects With GJB2-mediated Hearing Loss
Skylark Bio is conducting a study of an investigational new drug called SKY-GJB2 and its delivery device, the SKY-CAT. SKY-GJB2 is a gene therapy that is being developed to treat children who have hearing loss due to changes in the GJB2 gene (also referred to as Connexin 26). The SKY-CAT …
Investigating the Relationship Between Temporal Bone CT, Bone Density, and Hearing Loss in Otosclerosis Patients
The goal of this observational case-control study is to evaluate the relationship between temporal bone computed tomography (CT) findings, bone mineral density (BMD), and audiological parameters in adults diagnosed with otosclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a correlation between temporal bone CT density values and …
Long-term Follow-up of a Cochlear Implant With Dexamethasone Eluting Electrode Array
A long-term follow-up of Cochlear's cochlear implant electrode array which passively elutes dexamethasone for a defined period of time to help reduce inflammatory responses.
Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting and a Conventional Fitting
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 …
Effects of Binaural Hearing on Listening Effort and Cognitive Development in Mandarin-speaking Children With Cochlear Implants
The goal of this observational study is to learn how listening effort affects brain development and daily life in school-aged children (ages 6-18) who use cochlear implants (CIs), which are electronic devices surgically placed in the ear to help children with severe hearing loss hear sounds. The main questions it …
Vocal Emotion Communication With Cochlear Implants
Patients with hearing loss who use cochlear implants (CIs) show significant deficits and strong unexplained intersubject variability in their perception and production of spoken emotions in speech. This project will investigate the hypothesis that "cue-weighting", or how patients utilize the different acoustic cues to emotion, accounts for significant variance in …
Cochlear Implanted Listening Effort and Hearing Attention
Cochlear implant users perceive mainly sound amplitude modulation cues. Processing of these amplitude modulations can be subject to interferences, so that the perception of a modulation in a target sound can be impaired by a superimposed sound if this sound contains a similar modulation. Such phenomenon, which is observed both …
Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation Surgery
In order to preserve the residual hearing in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) receiving a cochlear implant (CI), the insertion trauma to the delicate and microscopic structures of the cochlea needs to be minimized. The surgical procedure starts with the conventional mastoidectomy-posterior tympanotomy (MPT) approach to the middle ear, …
Evaluation of Remote Programming of Cochlear Implants in Routine Cochlear Implant Follow-up
This is a prospective and monocentric clinical investigation, non-interventional and non-randomized. The overall goal of this clinical study is to generate additional clinical data confirming the safety and efficacy of the remote programming functionality of Target CI version 1.5 and the AB Remote Support app. Hearing outcomes are expected to …
A Prospective Cohort Study On Change of Cognitive Function In Aged-related Hearing Loss With Hearing Aids
Background Deafness is one of the nine potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia simulated by the Lancet dementia Prevention, intervention and Care Committee in 2017. Some studies have found that the risk factors of dementia in deafness system, with the increase of the degree of deafness, the risk of cognitive …
