Filter by:The overarching hypothesis to be evaluated using this protocol is that age-related hearing loss (ARHL) leads to shifts in the functional spatial boundaries between segregated and integrated auditory streams, and that hearing aid intervention that relies on directional processing schemes is most effective for those that have the poorest spatial sensitivity. One key component of the research design is to measure both behavioral and neurophysiological indices of an individual's spatial segregation boundary. The second key component is to measure the cost or benefit associated with hearing aid intervention in older hearing-impaired listeners. The final component is to relate cost and benefit of hearing aid intervention to spatial sensitivity measures that might predict the efficacy of clinical intervention.
This study intends to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SENS-501 in children between the ages of 6-31 months with pre-lingual hearing loss due to a mutation in the Otoferlin gene.
The goal of this observational study is to describe the multi-omics characteristics and to learn about the prognostic factors in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). The main problems it aims to deal with are: - if there is a difference in data of exome and targeted sequencing among patients with SSNHL affecting bilateral and unilateral sides, and healthy controls - if there is a difference in the parameter of MRI among patients with SSNHL affecting bilateral and unilateral sides, and healthy controls - to find out which factor from multi-omics data relates to outcomes of SSNHL - to develop the best prognostics model based on the multi-omics data. Participants will be received audiological tests, blood specimen collection and radiological examination. Researchers will explore the relationship between the multi-omics data and the prognosis and develop the predictive model.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the factors and mechanisms underlying tinnitus generation and chronification in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) . The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the peripheral and central influencing factors that contribute to tinnitus in patients with SSNHL? - Can serum metabolic biomarkers be identified to predict and monitor tinnitus prognosis in these patients? Participants in this study will include patients with SSNHL and tinnitus, patients with SSNHL without tinnitus, and healthy subjects. They will be asked to undergo a series of assessments, including audiological tests, vestibular function examinations, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Additionally, blood samples will be collected for metabolomics analysis. Investigators will compare the brain functional states and serum metabolite profiles of patients with SSNHL and tinnitus to those without tinnitus. Morever, tinnitus symptom characteristics, audiological outcomes, and brain functional states will be assessed during time.
The purpose of this study is to characterize and assess the evolution of hearing impairment of patients with adulthood-onset bilateral sensorineural hearing loss carrying mutations on GJB2 gene.
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 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.
