Investigating hearing loss in patients with metal-on-metal hip implants

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 study aims to assess the prevalence of hearing loss in patients who have undergone metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty. It will evaluate the relationship between plasma metal concentrations, specifically cobalt and chromium, and the incidence of ototoxicity. The study will involve patients from various clinics who have received MoM implants, focusing on their auditory health and potential complications related to metal exposure. Participants will be monitored for their hearing capabilities and metal levels in their blood.
