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.
To assess whether children with glue ear ( and some normal hearing controls) and their families find the Hear Glue Ear application acceptable and easy to use. Whether the hearing screening section on the app is comparable to the hearing test data obtained from formal audiology hearing tests.
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
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
Children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HH) are at risk of speech and language delays, which can be mitigated through early identification and intervention. Identifying hearing loss (HL) during preschool is crucial, but the most effective hearing screening method for preschoolers remains uncertain. The purpose of this study is to learn whether, compared to the gold-standard two-stage Pure-tone audiometry (PTA) + otoacoustic emissions (OAE) screening (TS-PO), single-stage OAE (SS-O) screening alone is not inferior at identifying hearing loss when performed in a community-based preschool setting. This study holds the potential to improve early hearing loss detection and intervention among D/HH children, reducing the likelihood of speech and language delays. A diverse group of 28,000 preschool-age children across community-based preschool centers will be recruited. The intervention involves all subjects undergoing both PTA and OAE screening, with the order determined through randomization. Children who show potential hearing issues based on screening results or teacher concerns will receive further testing to determine the final hearing outcome. Group allocation will be post-hoc, based on their screening results. In addition to the primary objective, the study will compare other hearing screening measures and outcomes between the two methods (TS-PO and SS-O). This approach aims to reflect the real-life effectiveness of hearing screening in a diverse population. Ultimately, the study seeks to provide insights into an optimal hearing screening method that could prevent speech and language delays among D/HH children.
The Bonebridge (BB) is a partially implantable active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing system manufactured by MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria). The BB augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. In 2017 Hodgetts & Scollie introduced a new fitting algorithm called DSL-BCD. The DSL-BCD algorithm was developed especially for the characteristics of bone conduction devices (BCD). If there is a benefit on the patient level in hearing outcomes when comparing the application of DSL-BCD in comparison to DSL v5 when using the BB, was not yet investigated. The aim of this clinical study is to show the improvement in audiological performance and subjective satisfaction with the BCI602 and SAMBA 2 audio processor in patients with conductive hearing loss compared to the unaided condition and to evaluate performance differences through application of 2 different fitting algorithms, namely DSL v5 and DSL-BCD.
A single center study evaluating the performance of an externally worn sound processor for a transcutaneous bone anchored hearing system using audiological outcomes measures such as aided thresholds and self-evaluation questionnaires.
This study will assess safety and efficacy of the MED-EL BONEBRIDGE Bone Conduction Implant in children under 12 years old with conductive or mixed hearing loss.
The study is a non-interventional, observational, cross-sectional, study on users of Ponto sound processors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate subjectively assessed hearing performance and satisfaction with Oticon Medical's sound processors fitted with the Genie Medical fitting software.
