Filter by:In this study, the investigators are testing whether cognitive training can lead to improvements in speech perception for individuals with hearing loss. Individuals will complete 20 hours of cognitive training that is designed to improve cognitive abilities such as short term memory and attention. The investigators predict that cognitive training that improves the cognitive abilities affected by hearing loss will improve speech perception.
The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate whether low-frequency acoustic hearing sensitivity can be preserved in newly implanted adults with partial deafness (considerable low frequency acoustic hearing profiles with severe-to-profound high frequency sensorineural hearing loss) using the HiResolution™ 90K™ Advantage cochlear implant with the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode to support the development of electro-acoustic stimulation technology (EAS).
The purpose of this study is to collect patient related benefit data following treatment for permanent hearing loss with a hearing implant from the company Cochlear over a period of 2 years post treatment. Assessment of benefits is based on standard questionnaires of hearing ability and quality of life in general.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of preserving low-frequency acoustic hearing in adults with a moderate degree of hearing loss in the low frequencies and severe-to-profound hearing loss in the mid-to-high frequencies who are implanted with the HiRes™ 90K Advantage implant with HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) can improve hearing in children who are deaf and cannot receive a cochlear implants.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether low-level laser therapy can improve hearing thresholds in individuals with hearing loss. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a treatment, placebo, or control group. The treatment group will be given a three treatment of low-level laser therapy, which consists of shining low-level lasers beams onto the ear and head. The laser beams are cool to the touch, and do not cause discomfort. Each laser treatment will last approximately 4 minutes. Three treatments will be applied three times within the course of one week. Hearing tests will be administered immediately before treatment, immediately after treatment, and six weeks after treatment. Results will be analyzed to determine the effect of the laser treatment on hearing.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of enhanced patient-centered counseling (PCC) and the influence of spousal involvement in pre-fitting counseling on hearing-aid outcomes.
The study will allow to identify the prevalence of the SLC17A8 gene mutations in patients suffering from deafness. This phenotype also corresponds to DFNA15 deafness caused by POU4F3 : mutations of this gene will be screened as well.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) can improve hearing in persons who are deaf in both ears and are not candidates for cochlear implants.
The objective of the trial is to investigate whether early treatment with oral valganciclovir of infants with both congenital cytomegalovirus infection and sensorineural hearing loss can prevent progression of hearing loss.
