Filter by: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.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of a novel device (EarGenie MVP) to assess hearing function in infants, using a small number of infants with normal hearing. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is our device safe? - Does the device provide preliminary results consistent with previous results from a commercial functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) research device? Participants will attend one test session and have their hearing assessed with the EarGenie MVP device.
The aim of the AURACCO study is to evaluate the association between the onset of tinnitus and hearing loss in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer treated by concomitant chemoradiotherapy or exclusive radiotherapy
The language environment that influences the child's language development has been studied using different subjective tools, mainly audio and/or video recording and manual transcriptions. The linguistic results of the implanted deaf child are dependent on the age at the implant, but also on the auditory and linguistic stimulation in the first months following the placement of the implant. Parents are the main actors in the child's language development. Professionals can rely on the LENA tool: Language ENvironment Analysis, which objectifies the language environment of the child at home in his daily environment. It is possible to obtain statistics on the number of adult words received by the child, the number of words produced by the child as well as the exposure to media and noise. On the basis of this quantitative data, the family can be supported in an attempt to optimize the conditions for receiving their child's speech. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of speech therapy parental support using the data provided by the Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) tool, in a pediatric population implanted early, i.e. before the age of 18 months and aged under 24 months inclusive at the start of their participation in the study.
The goal of the BEARS clinical trial is to determine whether using the directional listening training delivered via the BEARS training package for 3-months alongside usual care compared to only receiving usual care improves speech-in-noise perception, hearing experiences, vocabulary and quality of life and reduces listening effort in young people between 8-16 years old (inclusive) with two cochlear implants. The participants will complete hearing assessments and questionnaires before completing the 3-month intervention. They will be followed up for the next 9-months through online and in-person appointments.
