Oral Statins and Protection From Hearing Loss
A small clinical trial for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). Will the addition of an oral statin to the standard treatment (oral methylprednesolone and the salvage therapy of intratympanic dexamethasone) improve the treatment outcome for patients with ISSNHL? This study will compare the two treatments and quantitatively evaluate hearing …
Establishment of a Trans-round Window Inner Ear Continuous Drug Delivery System for the Treatment of Severe-to-profound Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The investigators enrolled patients with total sudden deafness who had failed treatment with systemic combined intra-dural hormone injections. The patients were randomly divided into a pilot group and a control group for a randomized controlled clinical study, with the pilot group receiving a round window niche enlargement via round window …
Rehabilitation of Narrative Language in Children With Hearing Impairment and Developmental Language Disorder
The importance of narrative skills is evident in their role in language development and their relation to important academic skills namely reading, comprehension, and writing. Narratives are also essential for competent social skills, and children with delayed language development are usually found to have less proficient social communication skills. Research …
Virtual Reality Glasses Integrated With Sign Language on Dental Anxiety Among Children With Hearing Impairment During Pulpotomy Procedure
To evaluate the impact of using virtual reality glasses using sign language as a distraction method to reduce the dental anxiety in moderate to severe hearing-impaired children compared to the conventional behavior management technique during pulpotomy treatment. The study will be a randomized controlled parallel two arms clinical trial, a …
A Phase 1b/2a, Study Evaluating the Safety, PK/PD and Efficacy of NS101 in Healthy Volunteers and SSNHL Patients
The goal of this 2 step-up, exploratory study is to test safey, tolerability and PK/PD profiles in healthy volunteers and safety, tolerability and efficacy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients as an early salvage therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: whether is it safe and tolerable when …
School Screening and Telemedicine Specialty Referral to Address Childhood Hearing Loss in Rural Kentucky
This trial will evaluate a multilevel intervention (STAR model) that combines mobile health (mHealth) hearing screening tools with telemedicine technology for specialty care access in rural Kentucky schools. An initial version of the model was used in rural Alaska where telemedicine-based specialty referral improved both proportion of children receiving follow-up …
School Screening and Telemedicine Specialty Referral to Address Childhood Hearing Loss in Rural Alaska
The prevalence of childhood hearing loss in rural Alaska is disproportionately high and predominately infection-related. With preventive screenings and access to health care, much of childhood hearing loss is preventable. Although state-mandated school screening helps identify children with hearing loss, loss to follow-up is pervasive and exacerbated by a scarcity …
Apple Hearing Study
The Apple Hearing Study is a partnership between the University of Michigan and Apple to study sound exposure and its impact on hearing health. This groundbreaking study will advance the understanding of how hearing could be impacted over time by exposure to sound at certain levels. The investigators will measure …
Hearing Impairment, Strategies and Outcomes in VA Emergency Departments
HearVA involves six VA facility emergency departments (ED) over a 3-year intervention period. The first part of this study will test whether providing personal amplifiers to Veteran ED patients who self-report hearing difficulty is acceptable to these patients, can improve their hearing, enhance understanding of discharge instructions, and can reduce …
Perception of Speech in Context by Listeners With Healthy and Impaired Hearing
Recognition of speech sounds is accomplished through the use of adjacent sounds in time, in what is termed acoustic context. The frequency and temporal properties of these contextual sounds play a large role in recognition of human speech. Historically, most research on both speech perception and sound perception in general …
