Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to find out the role of background factors and gaze use in children's speechreading performance. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which background factors and eye gaze patterns are associated with the best speechreading results in hearing children and those with hearing impairment/loss? - Are children's gaze patterns and facial expression discrimination associated with interpretation of emotional contents of verbal messages in speechreading? - What is the efficacy of intervention that is based on the use of a speechreading application to be developed? Participants will be - tested with linguistic and cognitive tests and tasks - tested with a speechreading test and tasks with or without simultaneous eye-tracking - about half of the participants with hearing impairment/loss will train speechreading with an application Researchers will compare the different age groups and the results of hearing children to those of children with impaired hearing to see if there are differences.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is one of the most common emergencies in otorhinolaryngology, and its incidence is increasing year by year and tends to be younger. At present, the pathogenesis of sudden deafness is not clear and the individual treatment effects vary significantly. In order to break through this specific treatment bottleneck, this project pioneered the clinical application of the co-regulator nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in the treatment of sudden deafness. Therefore, this project intends to use pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tinnitus disability scale THI, tinnitus subjective visual analog score method VAS, ear fullness subjective visual analog score method VAS for data analysis, and explore the safety of coenzyme I for injection on sudden deafness and efficacy assessment.
The reason for this clinical trial is to test different ways of carrying out hearing tests to be able to detect for hearing loss within the hospital and at home. Pathway 1: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether video game hearing tests work well to detect hearing loss caused by antibiotics at home in patients with long-term lung infections. Pathway 2: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare tablet-based (iPad) hearing tests with formal sound booth hearing tests in patients attending hospital outpatient clinics. Pathway 3: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether audio-training improves listening to speech in the presence of background noise. Researchers will compare participants receiving audio-training with those who did not receive audio-training. This will test if audio-training can improve participant's everyday listening experiences.
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether hearing test results using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) will help to fast-track early intervention for infants born with a hearing loss. fNIRS is a method of imaging brain activity using light. The main questions are: 1. Can audiologists make more confident decisions about the optimal interventions at different critical points in the hearing care pathway when they are given additional fNIRS information compared to when they have standard audiology test results alone? 2. Is the experience of their infant having an fNIRS test acceptable and comfortable for the parents or care givers?
The observational study will conduct interprofessional assessments by registered nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists of health determinants (i.e., frailty, physical, cognitive, and sensory function, mental and social health, and alcohol use) in older adults (≥75) living at home and applying for a municipal health service. The participants will take part in two assessments, baseline and 5 months. Based on the baseline assessment healthcare professionals will identify factors that can affect older adults' health, provide tailored information, offer measures, and link with proper health services. The aim is that older adults maintain health, function, and self-care and thus can continue aging at home. The main research question is:) How can interprofessional assessments of older adults living at home reduce the risk of impaired function, maintain health and ensure that the elderly receive tailored services?
Part A of this trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single unilateral administration of one of two dose levels of AAVAnc80-hOTOF and will evaluate the Akouos delivery device to safely achieve the intended product performance.
In this study, a noise reduction algorithm will be implemented in various listening situations to evaluate its effectiveness in improving speech understanding for cochlear implant users ages 12 and older.
The participants were recruited from elderly subjects in the age range of 60-85 years and audiological assessments, cognitive function assessments, non-invasive brain imaging, behavioral assessments were collected from the normal control group, the elderly deaf non-hearing group and the elderly deaf hearing group according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The project aims to investigate the differences in auditory speech and cognitive function in age-related deafness at the behavioural level, and to investigate the central cortical metabolic mechanisms in age-related deafness at the brain imaging level.
Regeneron is conducting a study of an investigational new drug called DB-OTO. DB-OTO is a gene therapy that is being developed to treat children who have hearing loss due to changes in the otoferlin gene. The purpose of this study is to: - Learn about the safety of DB-OTO - Determine how well DB-OTO is tolerated (does not cause ongoing discomfort) - Evaluate the efficacy of DB-OTO (how well DB-OTO works)
The purpose of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AC102 administered as single intratympanic injection compared to oral steroid treatment in patients with Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSNHL).
