Improving Speech in Noise Perception for Individuals With Age-related Hearing Loss
Hearing loss, especially for speech perception in the presence of noise, may lead older individuals to withdraw from social situations. While hearing aids help amplify sound and are useful in many situations, they can be ineffective in noisy contexts. The proposed pilot study will evaluate taVNS for improving speech in …
The Effectiveness of a Tailored Nutritional Education Program on Profound Hearing Impairment Adults
Literature suggests that profound hearing-impaired people have poor access to health care directly related to communication difficulties. A lack of knowledge regarding health and healthy dietary patterns has been documented. Several associations between chronic diseases such as obesity, CVD, hyperlipidemia etc., and hearing impairments have been established. There is a …
A Study of EH002 Gene Therapy for Otoferlin Gene Mutation-mediated Hearing Loss
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of EH002 for the treatment of congenital deafness caused by mutations in the OTOF gene. Participants may receive one or two injections of the EH002 gene therapy in one or both ears.
A Study of Treatment for Medulloblastoma Using Sodium Thiosulfate to Reduce Hearing Loss
This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower …
New Approach to Objectively Measure Social Engagement in Older Adults With Hearing Loss
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hearing devices, like hearing aids, affect social and cognitive function of older adults. The main questions the researchers want to answer are: How social are older adults with hearing loss before and after using hearing devices? How well do older …
Cochlear Implantation in Children With Asymmetric Hearing Loss or Single-Sided Deafness Clinical Trial
This is a two-phase study that compares performance growth pre-implant with current hearing aid (HA) technology versus post-implant with a cochlear implant (CI) in children with either asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) or single-sided deafness (SSD). Post-implant performance with a CI alone is expected to outperform pre-implant performance with a HA. …
Non-Invasive System to Deliver Therapeutic Hypothermia for Protection Against Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
The goal of this interventional clinical study is to investigate the use of mild therapeutic hypothermia devices for preservation of sensory structures in the cochlea after noise exposure. The main aims of the study are: To test the safety and best duration for use for a new hypothermia device. To …
Relationship Between LS Chirp ABR and Speech-in-Noise Skills in Hidden Hearing Loss
It is known that the underlying problem in Hidden Hearing Loss (HHL) is cochlear synaptopathy (CS) and that low-spontaneous-rate auditory nerve fibers play an important role in this pathology. Therefore, it is suggested that low-spontaneous-rate auditory nerve fibers are damaged in HHL. Consequently, LS CE-Chirp-evoked ABR and HINT, which assesses …
The Role of Migraine Prophylaxis Agent Topiramate in Treating Patients With Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Migraine and sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL) are two related disorders. A systemic steroid is usually used to treat SSNHL but the role of migraine prophylaxis medication remained unknown. Mehdi Abouzari et al. found a better improvement when combining topiramate and nortriptyline with steroids in a retrospective study. However, a prospective …
Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting and a Conventional Fitting
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 …
