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.
Investigating Auditory Processing in the Users of Auditory Brainstem and Cochlear Implants
This is a basic investigational research study conducted with hearing impaired adults and children who use cochlear implant or auditory brainstem implant (ABI) devices. The study will evaluate different aspects of hearing and auditory processing in the users of implantable auditory devices.
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 …
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 Implantation After Gamma Knife Radiosurgery with EABR and Correlation to Postoperative Hearing Results - a Pilot Study
Patients undergoing cochlear implantation after radio surgery for vestibular schwannoma will be included in the study. Patients will undergo preoperative and intraoperative eABR measurement. Correlations to postoperative hearing results will be drawn.
