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 …
The Effectiveness of a Tailored Nutritional Education Program on Profound Hearing Impairment Adults
Literature suggests that profound hearing-impaired people have poor access to health care directly related to communication difficulties. A lack of knowledge regarding health and healthy dietary patterns has been documented. Several associations between chronic diseases such as obesity, CVD, hyperlipidemia etc., and hearing impairments have been established. There is a …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Subjective and Audiological Benefit of BONEBRIDGE (BCI602) With Two Different Fitting Strategies
The Bonebridge (BB) is a partially implantable active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing system manufactured by MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria). The BB augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. In 2017 Hodgetts \& Scollie introduced a new fitting algorithm called DSL-BCD. …
