Efficacy and Effectiveness of an Investigational Behind-the-Ear Hearing Device Kit
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Sonova's rechargeable behind-the-ear hearing device kit works to treat hearing loss in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the rechargeable behind-the-ear hearing device kit address challenging listening situations identified by participants while providing a satisfactory user …
Extra-cochlear Electrode Placement at the Post-auricular Vagus Nerve in Cochlear Implantation
This study will evaluate hearing outcomes after cochlear implantation with placement of the ECE1 ground electrode near the post-auricular vagus nerve (Arnold's nerve) to assess non-inferiority with respect to placement under the temporalis muscle.
WhatsApp AI Support vs Paper Support for First-Time Hearing Aid Users
The purpose of this study is to advance hearing care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through the rigorous evaluation and optimization of innovative interventions and technologies. This study encompasses the following key aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a WhatsApp-delivered AI-enabled support and acclimatization programme for …
Quantification of Visually Evoked Cortical Potentials in Individuals With Hearing Loss
This research is being done to determine whether a test that measures a "Visual Evoked Potential" can be used in a new way for individuals that have hearing loss. This test measures the participant's brain's response (so called "brain waves") to specific visual images. This study will help the investigators …
Listening Effort in Cochlear Implant Users
People with hearing loss experience extra effort when listening, which can lead to severe psychological barriers to communication and social participation. Listening effort can lead to fatigue, mental strain, burnout, medical sick leave, and the need for increased time to recover from regular daily activities. This proposal aims to understand …
BEARS Training Package to Maximise Hearing Abilities in Older Children and Teenagers With Bilateral Cochlear Implants
The goal of the BEARS clinical trial is to determine whether using the directional listening training delivered via the BEARS training package for 3-months alongside usual care compared to only receiving usual care improves speech-in-noise perception, hearing experiences, vocabulary and quality of life and reduces listening effort in young people …
Innovations in Hearing Accessibility and Technology (IHAT) Study
The research will explore outcomes of different service delivery models of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids by comparing them to prescription hearing aids fitted by specialists in individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. The investigators will examine how each type affects users' experiences, behavior, thinking skills, and brain activity related …
Restauration of the Auditory and Cognitive Functions in Cochlear Implanted Deaf Children in FNIRS
The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the cortical developement of perceptual skills and executive functions over time, in children with cochlear implants aged 10-24 months and 3-7 years compared with normally hearing subjects (NHS). To do this, the investigator will use functional Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS) during …
Perceptual Consequences of Cochlear Implant Electrode-neuron Interfaces
Despite the success of cochlear implants, devices surgically placed in the inner ears of patients with severe hearing loss, there remains substantial variability in the overall speech perception outcomes for the children and adults who receive them. The main goals of this project are: i) to improve our understanding of …
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.
