Novel Coding Strategies for Children With Cochlear Implants
The purpose of this study is to understand performance with a cochlear implant. The long-term goals of this research are to improve sound perception with cochlear implants and to better understand the functioning of the auditory system. Information from individuals with and without cochlear implants will be compared.
Clinical Utility of Residual Hearing in the Cochlear Implant Ear
The current study is a randomized multi-center clinical trial that investigates the role an intraoperative hearing monitoring system (electrocochleography) has on helping to save residual hearing in patients undergoing cochlear implantation (CI).
Improving Clinical Efficiency by Reducing Scheduled Follow-ups Using Cochlear America's Population Mean Mapping Strategy
The study is about the importance of each follow-up visit after activating a new cochlear implant in addition to evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of a new programming strategy from Cochlear Americas. Investigators are looking for patients who have recently selected Cochlear Americas as their cochlear implant manufacturer of choice …
Cochlear Implants in Young Children With SSD
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of cochlear implantation in infants and toddlers with single-sided deafness. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are cochlear implants an effective treatment of single-sided deafness in infants and toddlers? Are cochlear implants a safe treatment …
Fall Risk Assessment and Speech Intelligibility Enhancement Using In-ear Device
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate methods to use hearing aids equipped with embedded sensors and artificial intelligence to assist in the assessment of fall risk and in the implementation of interventions aimed at reducing the risk of falling, as well as to improve speech intelligibility …
Combined Electric and Acoustic Hearing (EAS) in Children and Adults
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices which restore the ability to hear to the hearing impaired. Improvements in surgery and electrodes have results in an increased number of adults and children who have residual hearing and can benefit from electric and acoustic hearing in the same ear. This is called …
Cochlear Implant Recipients: Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation
This study aims to assess hearing and speech perception, as well as quality of life, in deaf patients of all ages before and after cochlear implantation, and to explore differences across age groups and treatment subtypes, thereby providing evidence for personalized hearing and speech rehabilitation.
Exploiting the Potential of Neural Attentional Control to Overcome Hearing Impairment
This study will improve the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms that underlie the control of auditory selective attention and evaluate the potential of neuromodulation to enhance neural attention control as a possible way to overcome hearing impairment. First, electroencephalography (EEG) will be applied to identify neural marker of auditory attention …
Encoding Temporal Fine Structure for Cochlear Implants
The goal of this study is to improve music and speech perception for cochlear implant users. Presently, most cochlear implants discard the temporal fine structure of sound, which is information that is widely believed to contribute to both music and speech perception. The proposed work examines perceptual and physiological changes …
Investigation of a Device to Deliver Intra-Operative Therapeutic Hypothermia for Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation
The goal of this interventional clinical study is to investigate the use of mild therapeutic hypothermia for preservation of residual hearing in cochlear implant surgery. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: Is mild therapeutic hypothermia safe for use during cochlear implantation? Is mild therapeutic hypothermia effective at …
