Active clinical trials for "Hearing Loss"

The aim of this study is to understand how audiometric, cognitive and electrophysiological results relate to sentence recognition score in adults using currently a Nucleus cochlear implant.

An open-set sentence speech recognition in noise test in Cantonese Chinese, which is applicable on children and adults with hearing impairment, is proposed to be developed in this project.

Do adults and children over 7 years of age with unilateral or assymetric hearing loss benefit from cochlear implantation on the worst hearing side.

The purpose of this study is to determine the true incidence of long QT (LQT) amongst a large cohort of subjects diagnosed with unilateral (right/left) or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the hearing outcomes of children with conductive hearing loss who are treated with bone conductive devices and their outcomes with remote microphone technology.

To prospectively examine the relations between adherence scores for three healthful dietary patterns, the Alternate Mediterranean diet (AMED), the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010), and risk of hearing loss in the Nurses' Health Study II.

Single center, cross sectional observational research design to collect normative data on the acquisition of listening skills in normally-hearing children aged 0-6 years of age.

To compare the audiological profiles in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis and to examine the pattern of hearing loss in osteoporotic patients. postmenopausal women will be separated as normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic according to bone mineral densitometry results. The evaluation of hearing test will be done in these groups and the results will be compared between the groups.

The purpose of this study is to understand the speech perception in noise and in quiet and localization benefits in a laboratory setting in listeners that receive a cochlear implant in an ear with severe to profound hearing loss and have normal, or near-normal hearing in the opposite ear. We will also evaluate the functional benefit of restoring hearing to the impaired ear via questionnaires that subjects will be answering while listening in their natural environment.

This Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) project is part of a larger project on potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia in a life course perspective, with an overarching aim to improve prevention of dementia and thereby potentially relieve patient and caregiver distress and decrease societal load. The present PhD project will concentrate on confirming knowledge of HI as an independent risk factor for dementia and exploring potentially causative factors to explain this relationship.
