Comparing computer-based auditory training with standard care for cochlear implant patients
This study tests if a free computer-based training program can help adults with cochlear implants understand speech better and improve their quality of life compared to standard training methods.
-
Comparing two surgical methods for cochlear implants
This study is testing which of two surgical methods for cochlear implants helps adults with severe hearing loss keep their natural hearing and improves their overall sound experience.
-
Using mild cooling during cochlear implant surgery to preserve hearing
This study tests if using mild cooling during cochlear implant surgery can help people with severe hearing loss keep some of their natural hearing.
-
Measuring electrical stapedial reflex thresholds for cochlear implant programming
This study is testing if measuring electrical responses in the ear can help improve cochlear implant settings for children with severe hearing loss to make their listening experience better.
-
Anatomy-based fitting for cochlear implant users
This study tests a new way to fit cochlear implants using CT scans of the ear to see if it helps people with severe hearing loss hear better compared to the usual fitting method.
-
Improving music and speech perception for cochlear implant users
This study is testing a new way to help cochlear implant users hear music and speech better by improving how they perceive sound details that are usually missed.
-
Observational registry for cochlear implant patients in the Middle East
This study collects long-term information on how well MED-EL cochlear implants work for children and adults in the Middle East to improve understanding of their effectiveness.
-
Assessing and training pitch perception and memory in cochlear implant users and those with congenital amusia
This study is testing a training program to see if it can help people with cochlear implants and those with congenital amusia improve their ability to hear and remember different pitches.
