NCT ID: NCT05962359 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Social Communication

Neural Prediction to Enhance Language

Start date: January 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The language outcome of children receiving cochlear implantation to address bilateral sensorineural hearing loss is more variable than that of typical hearing children. The research is focused upon development of neural predictive models based upon brain imaging to forecast language after cochlear implantation on the individual child level. The long-term goal is improving children's language by using predictive models to enable a custom "predict to prescribe" approach to intervene with more effective behavioral therapy for children at risk to develop poorer language. The investigators previously developed models for short term language outcome of English-learning implanted children. The aims of this study are to 1. Develop models able to predict long term outcome for English- learning and Spanish-learning children; and 2. To evaluate whether English-learning children predicted to achieve lower language based on the investigators' previously constructed models can demonstrate significant gains from Parent Implemented Communication Treatment (PICT). PICT is an intensive parent education program about strategies to improve children's communication.

NCT ID: NCT05956808 Completed - Clinical trials for Hearing Loss, Sensorineural

Phonak Behind-The-Ear Quality Evaluation

Start date: July 17, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Subjective listening effort and objective speech intelligibility will be evaluated with a new generation of a Phonak BTE (Behind-The-Ear) hearing aid.

NCT ID: NCT05955469 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Bilateral

Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting and a Conventional Fitting

Start date: October 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.

NCT ID: NCT05954520 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Hearing Loss, Sensorineural

Effects of Nonlinear Signal Processing Algorithms on Speech Perception

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nonlinear signal processing algorithms on speech perception.

NCT ID: NCT05950412 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Hearing Loss, Sensorineural

Paraverbal Components of Language and Cochlear Implant

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The investigators evaluated patients older than 6 years old, with severe hearing loss, cochlear implant wearers, able to perform a series of tests (TUISE, the pitch discrimination test, the melody discrimination test, VAS) to assess the skills of perceiving spectral components of music and understanding emotional states of language investigating the relationship between musical ability, pitch discrimination and paraverbal language comprehension.

NCT ID: NCT05946577 Not yet recruiting - Neck Cancer Clinical Trials

Association Between Tinnitus and Hearing Loss in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Treated by Radiotherapy Alone or With Chemotherapy: a Prospective and Multicenter Study

AURACCO
Start date: July 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

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

NCT ID: NCT05946395 Not yet recruiting - Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

Comparison of Speech Therapy and Audioprosthetic Care in Older Adults With First-time Hearing Aids

CODITION
Start date: April 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the score of the Evaluation of the Impact of Deafness in Adults(ERSA)/150 questionnaire obtained at 3 months compared to the inclusion score.

NCT ID: NCT05946057 Recruiting - Hearing Impairment Clinical Trials

Otoferlin Patient Registry and Natural History Study

Start date: February 21, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This registry is designed to collect comprehensive information about the molecular genetic diagnoses of individuals with otoferlin-associated hearing impairment and clinical information to support a natural history study.

NCT ID: NCT05942261 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Deafness Neurosensory

Rehabilitation Methods of Children With Cochlear Implant

MRSI
Start date: May 9, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The cochlear implant represents the gold standard in the treatment of children with bilateral severe-profound deafness. However, the current Italian and international guidelines do not address the issue of rehabilitation and how the different rehabilitation methods should be applied in relation to the different clinical pictures. The aim of this study is therefore to describe which methods are used today in the rehabilitation of deaf children with cochlear implants followed at the Phoniatrics and Speech Therapy service of the A. Gemelli Polyclinic Foundation. The creation of a questionnaire directed to the speech therapist who treats the specific patient is available in order to collect data concerning the characteristics of the setting and the rehabilitation method in relation to the most applied methodologies, i.e. Auditory-verbal therapy, oral-cognitive therapy, bimodal method and the Drežančić method.

NCT ID: NCT05936320 Completed - Hearing Impairment Clinical Trials

Evaluating the Effects of Information Leaflets in Adult Aural Rehabilitation

Start date: February 25, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Knowledge about how to manage hearing aids is an important factor in hearing aid success, but studies show that this knowledge ranges from good to poor, even among experienced adult hearing aid users. Information leaflets is a common tool in healthcare to give information with the purpose to increase theoretical knowledge and change behaviour, and illustrations in these leaflets can provide additional understanding for all kinds of patients. The primary aim of this aural rehabiliation study was to evaluate participants' knowledge about placement in a noisy environment, directional microphone and telecoil function at baseline and postintervention and assessing their perceptions of the benefits of an information leaflet. Additional aim was to investigate whether, an information leaflet with illustrations and accompanying text about hearing aid functions have additional effects on participants' knowledge compared to an information leaflet without illustrations.
