Hearing and Brain Development in Children and Teens

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort will follow children and adolescents with hearing loss across multiple management pathways and compare them to a normal-hearing group. Participants will undergo repeated assessments of hearing, speech and language skills, neurodevelopment, and multimodal brain function over time. The study aims to map development trajectories and how different interventions may influence outcomes. It does not assign treatments but observes existing management choices and their associations with outcomes.
