Active clinical trials for "Deafness"

Recent studies have reported successful reduction of tinnitus after cochlear implantation (CI) in most CI users, but the mechanisms of reduction and the amount of improvement is not fully understood. Especially, the relative role of peripheral and central auditory pathways is not clearly known. This study assessed the effect of CI electrical stimulation on tinnitus in subjects with unilateral tinnitus related to a single-sided deafness (SSD), and relative contributions of peripheral and central auditory pathways in tinnitus reduction.

The timing of brain changes that may influence hearing rehabilitation within human A1 after single-sided deafness (SSD) is not known. The goal is to determine when A1 neural plasticity occurs following SSD onset.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of OTO-413 administered as an intratympanic injection for the treatment of speech-in-noise hearing impairment.

This is a phase 1/2 study of FX-322 at two dose levels compared to placebo in male and female adults otherwise healthy with stable sensorineural hearing loss.

Phonak Hearing Systems pass through different development and study stages. At an early stage, feasibility studies are conducted to investigate new algorithms, features and functions in an isolated manner. If the benefit is proven, their performance is then investigated regarding interdependency between all available algorithms, features and functions running in parallel in a hearing aid (pivotal/pre-validation studies) and, as a result, they get optimized. Afterwards, and prior to product launch, the Phonak Hearing Systems undergo a final quality control in terms of clinical trials. This is a pre-validation study, investigating optimized algorithms, features, functions and wearing comfort. This will be a clinical evaluation which will be conducted mono centric at Sonova AG Headquarters based in Stäfa (Switzerland).

To study the initial experience with implanting and fitting a new Bone Conduction system in pediatric patient population with conductive, mixed or single-sided deafness.

In this study the investigators will examine the effects of core stabilization exercises on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions and postural control in hearing-impaired children.

There is a need to manage dizziness in vestibular dysfunction patients with the vestibular rehabilitation to improve the life style of these patients. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises are beneficial for the vestibular dysfunction patients because they decrease dizziness and visual symptoms, increase walking and balance functions and with this the general activity level also increases. In my study my goal is to apply two different vestibular exercise and check their effects on dizziness in hearing impaired children's.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of zonisamide for the treatment of noise-induced hearing loss in adults.

On June 23, 2021, the Oticon Medical Neuro Cochlear Implant System (NCIS) was granted premarket approval (PMA) in the US to treat individuals 18 years or older, with bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, who obtain limited benefit from appropriately fitted hearing aid(s). To help assure the continued safety and effectiveness of an approved device, a post-approval study was required as a condition of approval under 21 CFR 814.82(a)(2). The purpose of this study is to provide longer-term data on the safety and effectiveness of the Neuro Cochlear Implant System under general conditions of use in the postmarket environment.
