Filter by:This early feasibility study aims to collect pilot data on impedance measurements in real-world environments and to collect real-world and difficult listening situations and the factors impacting this, reflecting situations the subjects encounter during their daily life outside of the clinic. Improving the monitoring of both aspects may lead to improvements in monitoring and personalising the fitting to optimise hearing outcomes for persons with a cochlear implant.
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
This study is looking at a method called 'ABR', which measures the electrical activity in the brain (brain waves) when we hear sounds. This study will look at the electrical activity in participants brains in response to high-pitched sounds. First, the investigators will find the quietest sounds the participants can hear. Then the investigators will use 'ABR' to measure the quietest sounds that trigger electrical activity in participants brains'. This is to find out if there is a difference between the quietest sounds participants can hear, and the quietest sounds that trigger these brain waves. We are also interested in finding out if having a hearing loss affects this.
To evaluate the impact of using virtual reality glasses using sign language as a distraction method to reduce the dental anxiety in moderate to severe hearing-impaired children compared to the conventional behavior management technique during pulpotomy treatment. The study will be a randomized controlled parallel two arms clinical trial, a total of 40 healthy children aged 5-7 years with moderate to severe hearing disability, will be selected from Pediatric Dentistry and dental public health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. Children selected should have at least one primary molar indicated for pulpotomy. The eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the study group, which will use virtual reality glasses with sign language as a distraction method to manage children's behavior, and the control group, which will use the conventional behavior management strategies including show-tell-do, and positive reinforcement. Local anesthesia will be given and pulpotomy procedure will be done on the selected tooth followed by stainless steel crown restoration. Pre and post-operative assessment of child's dental anxiety will be done using three methods: physiologically using pulse oximeter for measuring the heart rate, objectively using Venham clinical anxiety rating scale, and subjectively using the modified facial image scale.
This study investigates a newly developed test, The CochSyn test that can quantify cochlear synaptopathy (CS) (a new type of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)) earlier than the current golden standard pure-tone audiogram.This newly developed test is based on auditory evoked brain potentials. A hardware prototype (the Cochsyn test prototype) was developed to use the Cochsyn test in clinical practice. Additionally a CS-based sound-processing algorithm (CoNNear) that is designed to improve speech intelligibility in subjects that are identified to have CS, will be investigated in this study.
Prospective, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iotaSOFT Insertion System when used to assist electrode array insertion during cochlear implant surgery in a pediatric population.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to develop pre-processing strategies to enhance speech and reduce noise for CI listeners. The Master Umbrella Clinical Investigation will be comprised of several sub-investigations, which will aim to optimize speech enhancement algorithms, to improve real-world functionality, and to incorporate them efficiently into CI speech processors.
The study is a feasibility, prospective, repeated-measures, multi-country, multi-centre, study of the Mobile Research App to measure and validate speech perception endpoints in adult cochlear implant recipients.
The aim of this study is to display the predictive factors of hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implant surgery in severely to profoundly deaf adults.
The objective of this study is to develop and assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a community-delivered, affordable, and accessible hearing care intervention tailored to the needs of community-dwelling Korean American (KA) older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care partners that integrates a low-cost over-the-counter amplification device and hearing rehabilitation through a randomized controlled pilot study. Each dyad will consist of the study participant and their care partner.
