The Influence of The Ear Popper on Serous Otitis Media and on the Accompanying Conductive Hearing...
Otitis MediaConductive Hearing LossThis study is designed to check the effect of the use of the ear popper device on serous otitis media in children and on the conductive hearing loss accompanying the otitis. It is intended that 30 children aged 3-18 years will participate in the study. The inclusion criteria are : clinical serous otitis media for a duration of more then 3 months, a conductive hearing loss of at least 15 decibels air bone gap and tympanometry type B or C. The children will use the ear popper for 7 weeks. They will undergo otologic examination, audiometry and tympanometry at the beginning ao the trial, at 7 weeks and at 3 months from the beginning of the trial. The otologic findings and the audiometry and tympanometry results before and after the trial will be compared. We will try to determine whether the use of the ear popper in the test group will improve the conductive hearing loss and prevent the need for tympanostomy tube insertion.
Montelukast for Children With Chronic Otitis Media With Effusion (COME): A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled...
Chronic Otitis Media With EffusionConductive Hearing LossThe purpose of our double-blind, placebo controlled study is to test the hypothesis that montelukast therapy might be associated with improved hearing in certain sub populations of children suffering from OME.
Exploring Interventions for Glue Ear During Covid-19
Hearing Impaired ChildrenGlue Ear2 moreDuring the Coronavirus pandemic children's hearing services are closed or reduced and grommet operations are part of the lowest priority group. In the absence of management options, this research study aims to see if bone conduction headphones either paired (via bluetooth) to a microphone or an app will help children with a hearing loss during this period of waiting. The child's quality of life is measured with validated questionnaires The study is over 3 months, and delivered remotely, with the product being sent to the family home and support offered via telephone/ video consulattion.
Use of ADHEAR, a Non-Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing System, in Children With Single Sided Deafness...
Conductive Hearing LossSingle Sided DeafnessA hearing loss affects the quality of life and the natural development of children. The new generation of hearing devices provides a huge number of options to them. These new hearing aids are often aesthetically acceptable, less invasive and user-friendly. The ADHEAR Non-Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing System is connected directly to the skin with a special adhesive adapter. The device transmits the sound to the mastoid by vibrating on the skull and stimulates the inner ear without any previous surgery. The objective of this study is to evaluate of the audiological benefit and subjective satisfaction of ADHEAR Audio Processor with Adhesive attachment in a group of children suffering from conductive hearing loss and/or single sided deafness.

Ambispective Clinical Evaluation of Sophono™
Conductive Hearing LossSingle-Sided Deafness1 moreStudy to accumulate post-market clinical evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the Sophono Alpha 2 and Alpha 2 MPO systems in subjects diagnosed with conductive hearing loss, single-sided deafness and mixed hearing loss who currently have or have had the Sophono implant.
Evaluation of Sound Processor for a Transcutaneous System
Conductive Hearing LossMixed Hearing LossA single center study evaluating the performance of an externally worn sound processor for a transcutaneous bone anchored hearing system using audiological outcomes measures such as aided thresholds and speech intelligibility and self evaluation questionnaires.
Remote Microphone (RM) - A Comparative Study
Hearing LossConductiveThe purpose of this investigation is to evaluate objective outcomes in pediatric bone conduction hearing device (often termed "BAHA") users with and without remote microphone (RM) technology. In this study, two remote microphone technologies will be evaluated to determine benefit in speech understanding in noise.
Comparison of a New Bone Conduction Hearing System to a Osteo-integrated Bone Conduction Hearing...
Conductive Hearing LossMain objectives The first main objective is to evaluate the non-inferiority of the ADHEAR system compared to the PONTO 3 SUPERPOWER softband system in terms of average tonal gain. The second main objective of the study is to evaluate the superiority of the ADHEAR system compared to the PONTO 3 SUPERPOWER softband system in terms of comfort. Secondary objectives Evaluate skin reactions with ADHEAR and PONTO 3 SUPER POWER on softband. Evaluate and compare perception in silence and noise with ADHEAR and PONTO 3 SUPER POWER on softband. Evaluate and compare the subjective auditory perception with ADHEAR and PONTO 3 SUPER POWER on softband. Evaluate the satisfaction and use of ADHEAR.
