Healthy HeaAring for Healthy Ageing: Data-driven Hearing Rehabilitation Intervention to Promote Healthy Hearing
The goal of the HAHA trial is to prove that the treatment of HI and prevention of HI-related cognitive decline are most likely to be effective if HI is approached as a broader neurodegenerative entity with multifaceted manifestations currently unaddressed in clinical practice and managed using a novel individualised data-driven …

Subjective and Audiological Benefit of BONEBRIDGE (BCI602) With Two Different Fitting Strategies
The Bonebridge (BB) is a partially implantable active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing system manufactured by MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria). The BB augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. In 2017 Hodgetts & Scollie introduced a new fitting algorithm called DSL-BCD. …
The Effect of PAP on ISSHL Comorbided With OSA
This clinical randomized controlled study is to explore the effect of positive airway pressure(PAP) on patients in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital diagnosed with both idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss comorbided(ISSHL) and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) between Dec. 2019 to Dec. 2029.
Assessing the Effect of Computer-based Auditory Training on Adult Cochlear Implant Speech and Quality-of-life Outcomes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI …
The Study on Effect and Neural Network Mechanism of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Sudden Deafness With Tinnitus
This clinical study is prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trail, which entitled transcranial electrical stimulation for the treatment of acute tinnitus approved by Sun Yat-sen University, and intends to recruit 86 patients with sudden deafness and tinnitus. For acute subjective tinnitus, a common otological disease, the study gave the …
Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, …
Place-based Cochlear Implant Mapping
The current standard of care approach for programming cochlear implants uses a generalized pitch-map for all patients. This approach fails to account for individualized inner ear anatomy. As a result, many cochlear implant recipients experience place-pitch mismatch. We have recently developed an automated mathematical tool to produce patient-specific, customized cochlear …
Clinical Trial to Compare Two Surgical Approaches to the Cochlea
This is a prospective multicenter multinational randomized control trial. The duration of the study for the individual patient will be approximately 1 year (pre-operative assessments, 1 week, 3 months and 12 months follow-up assessments). Participants will be randomized to one of two surgical approaches: eRW or CO, with a 1:1 …
Ph.D.-Project: Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis
Background The Eustachian Tube (ET) is a mucosa-lined connection between the nasopharynx and the middle ear cavity. It is believed to have three functions: 1) ventilation of and pressure equalization in the middle ear cavity, 2) mucus drainage from the middle ear, and 3) protection against sound and infection from …
