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.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate cochlear implant speech outcomes and subjective benefit for cochlear implant recipients with single-sided deafness using patient-specific, anatomy-based array selection versus standard of care with a fixed array size for all patients. Subjects will prospectively be assigned to receive an Anatomy-Based Electrode (FLEX26, FLEX28, or FLEXSOFT) or the Standard of Care Electrode array (FLEX28). Speech performance and subjective benefit will be evaluated between these two groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the different dose regimens of the efficacy of oral steroids in the acute tinnitus population. Participants will receive different appropriate dosages of prednisone tablets and oral Ginkgo Biloba tablets.
The goal of this study is to better understand if, in patients with mild to moderate hearing loss who are also experiencing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids: 1. improve communication 2. Whether the magnitude of benefit depends on the patient's level of cognitive disability, 3. Whether alternative remediation (such as targeted communication strategies) offer similar benefits. Participants and a communication partner will be randomized into an OTC first or Communication Strategies first arm, where participants will receive communication strategy information customized for those with cognitive impairment.
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), like neurodegenerative diseases, appears insidiously with age. As major public health issues, they are nonetheless under-diagnosed because the presence of one can hinder the objectification of the other. The CogAudio project aims to detect early and in an ambulatory mode in a memory centre a speech perception disorder in noise thanks to the VRB test in patients weakened by cognitive disorders.
Assessment of children by speech auditory brainstem response which is an objective method to study the speech development
The purpose of the study is to determine whether HG205 as CRISPR/Cas13 RNA base-editing therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of hearing loss caused by p.Q829X mutation in OTOF gene.
The cochlear implant provides good auditory performance despite high inter-individual variability, but performance in noise remains limited. Modification of the coding strategies could improve these performances. A better characterization of the remaining neuronal population by looking for the charge integration efficiency (which depends on the duration and the amplitude of the electrical pulse) would allow an optimization of the settings by adapting either the duration or the amplitude of the pulse according to the quality of the remaining neuronal population.
