Filter by:This study aims to investigate the clinical performance of the Osia 3 Sound Processor in comparison to the Osia 2 Sound Processor in adults with mixed or conductive hearing loss or single-sided deafness implanted with an Osia implant. Participants will attend four study visits, where they will complete various hearing assessments using the Osia sound processors.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the sound-induced vibration level of certain structures in the middle ear in the normal-hearing population. The targeted structures are part of a chain of structures responsible for conducting sound within the auditory system and so their ability to vibrate normally in response to sound is relevant to the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What are the mean and variance of the normal sound-induced vibration level at two anatomical locations, the umbo of the malleus and the tip of the incus? - Are there any significant differences in these vibrational responses associated with sex or age? Participants will have their ossicular mobility measured with an investigational medical device that sends light into the middle ear and measures the motion-induced phase shift on light reflected from the target structures when a sound stimulus is presented. Standard hearing tests including audiometry and tympanometry will also be performed to confirm the normal hearing status of participants.
This study aims to investigate the effect of stimulation parameters and different electrode modes on speech perception in adult cochlear implant recipients.
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cochlear implantation for adults with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who currently do not meet the FDA-approved indications for cochlear implantation. Following cochlear implantation, participants will complete speech perception assessments and questionnaires over the course of seven visits.
The goal of the study is to determine the benefit of using an ECochG-based corrective action guide during cochlear implant surgery compared to the traditional surgical approach without ECochG surveillance and guidance.
The goal of this descriptive study is to collect the wideband immittance data in Thai normal hearing and conductive hearing loss adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is normative data of wideband acoustic immittance in Thai normal hearing adults 2. What is the wideband acoustic immittance data in Thai conductive hearing loss who have type A, AS and Ad tympanogram Participants will examine hearing tests consequently - pure tone audiometry - Tympanometry with ipsilateral acoustic reflex - Wideband acoustic immittance
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of cochlear implantation : conventional manual insertion versus robot-assisted in order to verify whether robotic insertion provides better performance in the noisy environment. To do this, we will compare the two methods of insertion of the electrode holder, on 140 patients candidates for cochlear implantation randomized in two groups (70 conventional surgery versus 70 robot-assisted surgery). All patients will be recruited during 17 months, in our Ear, nose and throat (ENT) Department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital group, the first center for adult patients established in France (on average 180 patients/year). Patient will be followed for 9 months with clinical evaluation, imaging, audiometric, listening effort and quality of life assessments. These evaluations will be carried out preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months and 6 months post-activation of the cochlear implant.
1. Assess the impact of hearing impairment on cognition 2. Evaluate the impact of hearing impairment on mental health 3. Evaluate the impact of hearing impairment on quality of life 4. Assess the relation between hearing loss and psychiatric disorder
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will be children in the age of 3-10 years with sensorineural hearing loss. The test protocol consists of questionnaires and vestibular and postural assessments.
This is a feasibility study for a inner ear catheter which will be used to apply steroids to the inner ear. It will be used on nearly deaf patients during their surgery, when they receive an implant that will restore the hearing. Treatment with steroids will improve the maintenance of residual hearing, which will be tested during and after the surgery.
