Intracochlear Platelet-rich Fibrin Application in Cochlear Implantation
Fibrosis due to surgical trauma is a common problem with cochlear implants. Fibrosis limits the effectiveness of implant and increases the power consumption. Our aim in this study is to benefit from the anti-inflammatory effects of autologous platelet-rich fibrin to reducing the fibrotic cascade.
Real-time Artificial Intelligence-based Speech Enhancement Methods for Hearing Aid Improvement
Individuals with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorders (ANSD) represent 1-10% of adults with hearing loss. These individuals have little or no benefit from current hearing aids because ANSD is a continuum of hearing impairments due to synaptic or neural dysfunction in the peripheral and central parts of the auditory pathways, which …
A Study to Explore Improved Features and a Simplified Treatment Approach for a Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI) Research System in Adults With Severe Hearing Loss
This clinical study will test a new investigational totally implanted cochlear implant system (TICI G2). The cochlear implant has an implantable microphone under the skin to detect speech and sound from the environment allowing hearing without the need of any external parts. This study will explore new ways to process …
Self-efficacy-based Auditory Rehabilitation With Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
This goal of this study is to learn if a new audiology treatment process called the self-efficacy-based auditory rehabilitation (SEBAR) can improve confidence and success with over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the SEBAR improve participants' confidence related to managing their over-the-counter hearing …
Evaluating a Deep Neural Noise-Reduction Algorithm for Hearing Aids
This study is designed to understand how different hearing-aid noise-reduction technologies affect a listener's ability to hear speech in noisy environments. Participants will listen to speech at several background-noise levels while trying different processing settings. By comparing performance across these conditions, the study aims to identify which types of noise …
Evaluation of Performances, Clinical Benefits and Safety of the 'Audiocap' Connected Hearing Rehabilitation Device for Improving Audibility in Hearing-impaired People in the Context of CE Marking - AUDIOCAP-2
The goal of this clinical trial is the evaluation of performances, clinical benefits and safety of the 'Audiocap' connected hearing rehabilitation device for improving audibility in hearing-impaired people. The main question it aims to answer is to demonstrate, after one month's use of the Audiocap connected hearing aid, that the …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
