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 …
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 …
Perceptual Adaptation Following Cochlear Implantation (Aim 3a)
The goal of this study is to study the adaptation process in newly implanted Single-Sided Deaf Cochlear Implant (SSD-CI) users. Subjects will use four frequency maps for the first month after CI activation. One of these maps will be standard of care and the other three will have higher low …
Hearing Outcomes With the Osia 3 Sound Processor Compared to the Osia 2 Sound Processor in Adult Osia Implant Recipients
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the clinical performance and sound quality of the Osia 3 Sound Processor and to demonstrate its superiority compared with the Osia 2 Sound Processor in adults with mixed hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. The main questions this study …
Anatomy-Based Fitting in Unexperienced Cochlear Implant Users
Severe to profound hearing loss affects 0,8% of the global population. For these people, a conventional hearing aid often does not provide sufficient benefit. However, these people can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI). A CI needs to be individually programmed (fitted) for each recipient. A fitting "map" is defined …
