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.
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 …
