Filter by:This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with acquired sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
This is a Phase 1b, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter, safety study of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with severe sensorineural hearing loss.
This is a Phase 1b, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter, safety study of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with age-related sensorineural hearing loss.
This is a phase 2a single and repeat dose exploratory efficacy study of intratympanic FX-322 compared to placebo in healthy male and female adults with stable sensorineural hearing loss.
Farm and rural youth have frequent exposure to hazardous noise on the farm and recreationally, and have an increased prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). There is a lack of programs to prepare this high-risk population to use hearing conservation strategies. This randomly-controlled trial of innovative community-based interventions is designed to compare effectiveness and sustainability of approaches to increase youths' use of hearing conservation strategies. Consistent use of hearing conservation strategies is expected to reduce rates of NIHL and other negative effects of high noise exposure, and improve quality of life in this high-risk and underserved group.
This study is a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single ascending dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of oral administration of HPN-07 in single doses to approximately 32 healthy male and female subjects between 18 and 55 years of age. Subjects will receive single oral doses of the study drug. The primary endpoint of this trial is to establish the safety and tolerability of HPN-07 and HPN-07 plus N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
If effective, administration of EPI-743 should have protective effects against temporary noise-induced hearing loss.
The purpose of this project is to compare the effectiveness of several approaches to influencing hearing protector use. The goals of this study are to further develop an intervention to promote farmers' use of hearing protectors, and compare the effectiveness of the developed intervention with two alternative approaches to influencing hearing protector use behavior, delivered in various combinations. This study will determine if significant change in hearing protection use can be achieved in a one-shot web-based or protector-supply intervention. Results will determine the need for future program modifications, e.g., inclusion of booster(s).
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a significant clinical, social, and economic issue. Studies in animals have allowed us to identify mechanisms contributing to NIHL, including direct mechanical trauma, free radicals formed in association with metabolic stress, and reduced blood flow. A combination of antioxidant vitamins (beta-carotene, and vitamins C and E) and the mineral magnesium (which acts in part as a vasodilator but also as an antioxidant) is highly effective in preventing NIHL in animals. These studies evaluate efficacy of this intervention in humans. Hypothesis: Treatment with these micronutrients provides safe, effective attenuation of acute hearing changes induced by exposure to real-world sounds producing temporary (non-permanent) or permanent hearing changes induced by exposure to real-world sounds. Experiment 1: "Digital Audio Player" studies (University of Florida, Gainesville). Prevention of *temporary* elevations in hearing thresholds, induced by exposure to moderately loud music, will be measured. Subjects will be 70 young adults with equal numbers of male and female participants. Experiment 2: "Urban warfare" military studies (Karolinska Institutet, Sweden). Prevention of *temporary* elevations in hearing thresholds, induced by automatic gunfire sound inside a concrete bunker, will be measured. Subjects will be 31 adult male or female officers in the Swedish army required to participate in urban combat training regardless of study participation. All subjects are required to wear standard hearing protection during combat exercises.
