View clinical trials related to Conductive Hearing Loss.
Filter by:Conductive hearing loss is very common and the incidence increases with age. Until now, the scanner was the reference examination in the etiological diagnosis of deafness. When performing a CT scan of temporal bones for the etiological diagnosis of conductive hearing loss, the quality of the image depends on the scanner brand and the acquisition parameters. The investigators wish to show the usefulness of the cone beam in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss
The study is part of the Post Market Clinical Follow (PMCF) activity. The investigational device is the CE-marked Ponto 3 SuperPower (available on the market since December 2016) already fitted to the subjects, and data is collected retrospectively from clinical routine visits. The study is a retrospective study. Therefore there will be no study visits for treatment or follow-up in the study. Subject inclusion for this clinical investigation will be performed among subjects who has been fitted with the Ponto 3 SuperPower. To have a wide representative selection of subjects, enrollment will be spread over the 4 years since the device was available on the market since December 2016. The endpoints in the study will investigate the improvement of hearing with the Ponto 3 SuperPower. The data will be collected from the subjects in the time period from the clinical routine visit where the Ponto 3 SuperPower where fitted or just prior, and from the clinical routine visit following the fitting, where audiologic fitting follow-up procedures are performed (approximately 3 months).
The aim of this study is to compare the audiological and quality of life performance patients have with an ADHEAR (adhesive bone conduction device) compared to no hearing device.
A 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.
The objective of this multi-site observational study is to further assess the long-term patient use of the Sonitus SoundBite Hearing System. Information can be gained by assessing benefit for the subjects that were enrolled in the SoundBite Hearing System Long Term Multi Site Study (Protocol CLN006) for an additional 12 months.
This 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.
