Sentence Shaping - DHH
The proposed research addresses a long-standing and important challenge of improving literacy skills of children who are deaf and hard of hearing, a historically under researched group. The investigators aim to leverage shape coding - an empirically validated intervention approach for constructing sentences in spoken English - for improving how …
Evaluation of the CochSyn Device in Clinical Practice
This study investigates a new type of auditory evoked brain potentials for the quantification and classification of peripheral hearing damage (The CochSyn Test). The study will investigate the characteristics of this new auditory evoked potential marker in a cohort of people with and without self-reported hearing difficulties and test a …
Evaluation of Flexible Conductive Hearing Aids
Conductive hearing loss (CHL) is the most common type of hearing loss among the pediatric population. CHL occurs when sound is not properly transmitted from the external ear to the cochlea, and congenital pathologies like microtia/anotia, atresia, and absent or malformed ossicles make hearing loss permanent.
Assessing Pharmacy Technician Educational Training for the Provision of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids in Rural Alabama and Mississippi Pharmacies
Hearing loss is a major public health concern due to its negative association with emotional well-being, cognition, and physical ailments, such as diabetes. Access to audiologists and otolaryngologists in many regions across the US is poor or extremely limited. Rural populations are older, less educated, and have lower household incomes …
Effects of Clear Speech on Listening Effort and Memory in Sentence Processing
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is among the most prevalent chronic conditions in aging and has a profoundly negative effect on speech comprehension, leading to increased social isolation, reduced quality of life, and increased risk for the development of dementia in older adulthood. Typical audiological tests and interventions, which focus on …
Protective Effect of Acetylcysteine Against Cisplatinum-Induced Ototoxicity: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent but often leads to permanent hearing loss (ototoxicity) as a significant side effect. This study investigates whether the administration of NAC …
Evaluating How a Tinnitus Implant Affects Tinnitus Loudness in Adults With Chronic Tinnitus and Varying Levels of Hearing Loss
This study will test an experimental Tinnitus Implant System that consists of a cochlear implant, sound processor and programming software. The Tinnitus implant is surgically placed under the skin just behind the ear in the mastoid bone. It has an electrode that extends from the implant into the promontory bone …
Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Cochlear Implantation in Children and Adults With Unilateral Hearing Loss/Single-sided Deafness
The aim of the study is to assess the continued efficacy and safety of cochlear implantation in participants aged 5 years and above with Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL)/Single Sided Deafness (SSD) supporting a change indication for use.
Remote Audiometry to Monitor for Treatment-Related Hearing Loss in Patients With H&N SCC Receiving Cisplatin and/or Radiation
This clinical trial tests the impact of offering hearing tests (audiometry) close to home and remotely on participation in monitoring for treatment-related hearing loss in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer receiving cisplatin and/or radiation. Cisplatin, a chemotherapy often used to treat head and neck cancers, and radiation …
Pediatric Expansion Study of the Sentio System
This study is performed to collect safety and performance data supporting the use of the Sentio system in children below 12 years of age. The system is currently available on the market for patients 12 years and above. It is a prospective study conducted at eight European hospitals, aiming to …
