Intracochlear Platelet-rich Fibrin Application in Cochlear Implantation
Fibrosis due to surgical trauma is a common problem with cochlear implants. Fibrosis limits the effectiveness of implant and increases the power consumption. Our aim in this study is to benefit from the anti-inflammatory effects of autologous platelet-rich fibrin to reducing the fibrotic cascade.
A Study to Explore Improved Features and a Simplified Treatment Approach for a Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI) Research System in Adults with Severe Hearing Loss
This clinical study will test a new investigational totally implanted cochlear implant system (TICI G2). The cochlear implant has an implantable microphone under the skin to detect speech and sound from the environment allowing hearing without the need of any external parts. This study will explore new ways to process …
Benefits of Bimodal Streaming With MED-EL Cochlear Implants and Starkey Hearing Aids
This study will evaluate sound quality and user satisfaction with Bluetooth streaming using a new bimodal streaming option for individuals who use a MED-EL cochlear implant and Starkey hearing aid.
Investigating Electrical Categorical Loudness Scaling Using a Mobile Research App in Experienced Adult Cochlear Implant Participants
This clinical study will evaluate a feature of the investigational Nexus Research System used for programming cochlear implants. Programming a cochlear implant-commonly referred to as MAP fitting-involves activating the device, allowing recipients to acclimatize to hearing sounds, and then fine-tuning the program based on the user's perception of loudness across …
Self-efficacy-based Auditory Rehabilitation With Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
This goal of this study is to learn if a new audiology treatment process called the self-efficacy-based auditory rehabilitation (SEBAR) can improve confidence and success with over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the SEBAR improve participants' confidence related to managing their over-the-counter hearing …
School Screening and Telemedicine Specialty Referral to Address Childhood Hearing Loss in Rural Alaska
The prevalence of childhood hearing loss in rural Alaska is disproportionately high and predominately infection-related. With preventive screenings and access to health care, much of childhood hearing loss is preventable. Although state-mandated school screening helps identify children with hearing loss, loss to follow-up is pervasive and exacerbated by a scarcity …
School Screening and Telemedicine Specialty Referral to Address Childhood Hearing Loss in Rural Kentucky
This trial will evaluate a multilevel intervention (STAR model) that combines mobile health (mHealth) hearing screening tools with telemedicine technology for specialty care access in rural Kentucky schools. An initial version of the model was used in rural Alaska where telemedicine-based specialty referral improved both proportion of children receiving follow-up …
Apple Hearing Study
The Apple Hearing Study is a partnership between the University of Michigan and Apple to study sound exposure and its impact on hearing health. This groundbreaking study will advance the understanding of how hearing could be impacted over time by exposure to sound at certain levels. The investigators will measure …
Hearing Impairment, Strategies and Outcomes in VA Emergency Departments
HearVA involves six VA facility emergency departments (ED) over a 3-year intervention period. The first part of this study will test whether providing personal amplifiers to Veteran ED patients who self-report hearing difficulty is acceptable to these patients, can improve their hearing, enhance understanding of discharge instructions, and can reduce …
Perception of Speech in Context by Listeners With Healthy and Impaired Hearing
Recognition of speech sounds is accomplished through the use of adjacent sounds in time, in what is termed acoustic context. The frequency and temporal properties of these contextual sounds play a large role in recognition of human speech. Historically, most research on both speech perception and sound perception in general …
