Active clinical trials for "Deafness"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the functional benefits of frequency compression vs no frequency compression or fitted to hearing loss in severe-profound hearing impaired adults with high frequency hearing losses. Thus, assessing whether hearing aids for this patient population can be adapted to improve speech perception.

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to test a new Sound Processor (SP) to compare hearing performance of the new Sound Processor with unaided hearing and Baha 5 SP in adult subjects and to investigate which device (new Sound Processor versus Baha 5) the subjects prefer.

Investigation of stability of the BHX implant in adult patients indicated and counselled for a bone anchored hearing aid system. Patients are followed according to clinical practice for a total of 12 months in the study. Stability of the implant is evaluated by implant stability quotient.

To assess implant stability, implant loss, adverse skin reactions, and Quality of Life Benefit following implantation of the Ponto 4.5mm Wide Diameter implant. Secondary: to determine the feasibility of fitting the sound processor 3 weeks after surgical implantation, and to investigate if the type of skin reactions following implantation could be related to the demographic data of subjects and the type of surgical technique used

As the left and right hemisphere are specialized for different auditory tasks, the proposed study aims at demonstrating different consequences of right or left-sided deafness for the affected individual. Furthermore, the question should be answered if auditory deficits and plastic changes can be partially reversed by cochlear implantation of the deaf ear. Multicenter, prospective, open, non-randomized clinical trial with 5 patients with right-sided and 5 patients with left-sided sensineural deafness. Pre-operative: Audiometry, Sound Localization Audiometry, PET, EEG/MEG Comparison of pre-operative investigations with 10 healthy subjects (age and gender matched control group) Cochlea implantation Follow-up Visits at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month post-operative: Audiometry, Sound Localization Audiometry, PET, EEG, Questionnaires Trial with medical device

a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL). Patients will be treated with STR001 thermogel (STR001-IT) / STR001 tablets (STR001-ER) and corresponding Placebo on top of standard of care.

The purpose of this study is to gather clinical performance data on the Baha SoundArc

Compare hearing outcomes between treatment with dexamethasone versus prednisone in participants who have been diagnosed with unilateral SSNHL (sudden sensorineural hearing loss).

This study aimed to assess and reassess the balance and motor skills of deaf children, passed six weeks of intervention and to verify whether a program of physical therapy intervention can match or improve motor skills. This study was quasi-experimental before and after, with 10 children from a school in Caxias do Sul / RS. Motor skills were evaluated using pre and post test KTK Coordination Body, and the activities were held once a week for six weeks in sessions of forty minutes. It was used for statistical analysis the Student t test dependent and independent (p ≤ 0.05).

This study is being conducted to evaluate the benefits of in-the-ear vs. open-fit behind-the-ear hearing aids. We want to learn more about which patients prefer each type, so we can make better choices about which type of hearing aid is best for which patients. Participants in this study will try three different sets of hearing aids for 2 months each, then we will evaluate the benefit of each type. Participants must be Veterans who are eligible for audiology care at one of the three participating sites.
