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.
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 …
Establishment and Application of a New Imaging System for Otology Based on Ultra-high Resolution CT
Tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo are the three major diseases of otology, affecting hundreds of millions of people in our country, and are major health problems. Ear structures and lesions are deeply embedded in the bone, and CT is the preferred examination technique. The key structures of the ear are …
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.

Investigation of Anatomical Correlates of Speech Discrimination
Understanding speech is essential for good communication. Individuals with hearing loss and poor speech discrimination often have little success with hearing aids because amplifying sound improves audibility, but not clarity of the speech signal. The purpose of this study is to determine the relative importance of the sensory cells of …
Long-Term Outcomes of Children With Congenital CMV in New York State
PROACTIVE NYS is a long-term follow-up study of all infants who test positive for congenital Cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) throughout New York State on the Newborn Screen. By following all infants who screen positive, we will learn important information about the range of symptoms caused by congenital CMV, from those babies …
Safe Brain Initiative, Operationalizing Precision Anaesthesia
Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses …
