Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of cochlear implantation in infants and toddlers with single-sided deafness. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are cochlear implants an effective treatment of single-sided deafness in infants and toddlers? - Are cochlear implants a safe treatment for single-sided deafness in infants and toddlers? Participants will receive a cochlear implant and be followed until they are five years old. During those five years, the investigators will program the device and monitor auditory development. Children will be asked to: - Undergo cochlear implantation - Wear their cochlear implant processor whenever they are awake. - Participate in traditional hearing tests - Participate in traditional hearing testing - Participate in localization testing - Participate in hearing in noise testing - Participate in word recognition testing - Participate in speech, language, and educational evaluations The researchers will compare results to children with typical hearing in both ears and children with single-sided deafness who have not received an implant to observe any differences between the groups.
This is a two-phase study that compares performance growth pre-implant with current hearing aid (HA) technology versus post-implant with a cochlear implant (CI) in children with either asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) or single-sided deafness (SSD). Post-implant performance with a CI alone is expected to outperform pre-implant performance with a HA. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of bimodal hearing defined as a CI in the poor ear and a HA in the better ear for AHL or a CI in the poor ear and normal hearing in the better ear for SSD compared to pre-implant performance. The study examines factors contributing to CI outcomes.
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.
