19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this investigation is to collect feasibility data to assess the safety and efficacy of the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB), a medical device designed to provide benefit in aided hearing thresholds, speech perception and sound quality to certain individuals with hearing loss with minimal changes in residual hearing. The VSB is currently indicated for adults with moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss. Under the present investigation, adults with conductive and mixed hearing losses who are not successful users of traditional amplification will be assessed.
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Osia 2 system in patients with conductive or mixed conductive hearing loss in a US cohort.
Study to accumulate post-market clinical evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the Sophono Alpha 2 and Alpha 2 Maximum Power Output (MPO) systems in subjects diagnosed with conductive hearing loss, single-sided deafness and mixed hearing loss who currently have or have had the Sophono implant.
To assess implant stability, implant loss, adverse skin reactions, and Quality of Life Benefit following implantation of the Ponto 4.5mm Wide Diameter implant. Secondary: to determine the feasibility of fitting the sound processor 3 weeks after surgical implantation, and to investigate if the type of skin reactions following implantation could be related to the demographic data of subjects and the type of surgical technique used
The CochlearTM Osia®2 System was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration November 15, 2019 (K191921) for individuals aged 12 years and older who present with conductive or mixed hearing loss (up to 55 dB HL) or single-sided-deafness (SSD).Published and unpublished data suggest significant pre to postoperative benefit and minimal risk in both children and adults who have received the Osia system. Thus the objective of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of the Cochlear Osia 2 system in a group of pediatric subjects aged 5 to 11 years who suffer from conductive or mixed hearing loss (up to 55 dB HL), or single-sided-deafness (SSD) with the intent of expanding the indications for use.
To study the initial experience with implanting and fitting the new Bone conduction system in patients with conductive, mixed or Single sided Sensorineural deafness.
The objective of this multi-site observational study is to further assess the long-term patient use of the Sonitus SoundBite Hearing System. Information can be gained by assessing benefit for the subjects that were enrolled in the SoundBite Hearing System Long Term Multi Site Study (Protocol CLN006) for an additional 12 months.
This study is designed to collect data about the SoundBite™ Hearing System to answer specific questions. The hearing system has been cleared for commercial distribution by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sonitus hopes to learn from a larger group of users what features and settings of this device provide the best hearing ability for people diagnosed with Single Sided Deafness (SSD) or Conductive Hearing Loss (CHL).
This study will assess safety and efficacy of the MED-EL BONEBRIDGE Bone Conduction Implant in children under 12 years old with conductive or mixed hearing loss.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate OID hearing intervention on cognition among patients who could vs. do utilize an OID. We will also evaluate the long-term effects of OID use on secondary outcomes measures (hearing performance, quality-of-life, social interaction, communication, physical functioning, etc)
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate objective outcomes in pediatric bone conduction hearing device (often termed "BAHA") users with and without remote microphone (RM) technology. In this study, two remote microphone technologies will be evaluated to determine benefit in speech understanding in noise.
Approximately thirty subjects with mixed or conductive hearing loss, meeting FDA-cleared candidacy criteria for the BONEBRIDGE, will be implanted and followed for three (3) months post-activation to assess safety and effectiveness of the BONEBRIDGE implant.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the hearing outcomes of adult and pediatric patients who are treated with or are candidates for bone conductive devices (also termed "BAHA"). Hearing outcomes will also be assessed with a second audio processor device called the Adhear System.
The purpose of this study is to gather clinical performance data on the Baha SoundArc
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of new super-power bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) processors in BAHA users. BAHAs are able to help people with mixed/conductive and single-sided hearing loss when they are unable to use or receive limited benefit from traditional hearing. Until recently, BAHAs were only recommended to people with up to a moderate hearing loss. New super-power BAHA processors may be able to help people who previously were not candidates for BAHAs or received limited benefit from them. The information collected in this study may lead to improved evaluation of and expanded treatment options for people considering BAHA. Different types of hearing tests will be used to compare the devices.
Children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HH) are at risk of speech and language delays, which can be mitigated through early identification and intervention. Identifying hearing loss (HL) during preschool is crucial, but the most effective hearing screening method for preschoolers remains uncertain. The purpose of this study is to learn whether, compared to the gold-standard two-stage Pure-tone audiometry (PTA) + otoacoustic emissions (OAE) screening (TS-PO), single-stage OAE (SS-O) screening alone is not inferior at identifying hearing loss when performed in a community-based preschool setting. This study holds the potential to improve early hearing loss detection and intervention among D/HH children, reducing the likelihood of speech and language delays. A diverse group of 28,000 preschool-age children across community-based preschool centers will be recruited. The intervention involves all subjects undergoing both PTA and OAE screening, with the order determined through randomization. Children who show potential hearing issues based on screening results or teacher concerns will receive further testing to determine the final hearing outcome. Group allocation will be post-hoc, based on their screening results. In addition to the primary objective, the study will compare other hearing screening measures and outcomes between the two methods (TS-PO and SS-O). This approach aims to reflect the real-life effectiveness of hearing screening in a diverse population. Ultimately, the study seeks to provide insights into an optimal hearing screening method that could prevent speech and language delays among D/HH children.
The study is a non-interventional, observational, cross-sectional, study on users of Ponto sound processors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate subjectively assessed hearing performance and satisfaction with Oticon Medical's sound processors fitted with the Genie Medical fitting software.
The rationale behind this post-market clinical follow-up investigation is to collect data regarding the usability and clinical performance of the Baha Attract System in subjects with hearing impairment that are candidates for Baha surgery: * to evaluate the efficacy of the Baha Attract System in terms of hearing performance compared to the unaided situation and compared to a pre-operative test situation using the sound processor on a Baha Softband; * to evaluate the mid- and long-term safety of the Baha Attract System.
The accurate assessment of auditory status is critical for planning treatment for Veterans with hearing loss to include medical and audiological management. Current physiologic tests of auditory function in the standard clinical audiological test battery for Veterans have limited sensitivity in detecting some middle-ear disorders, and do not include a direct test of cochlear function. Recent studies have shown promise for new wide-bandwidth (WB) tests of absorbance for improved sensitivity in the assessment of middle-ear function including acoustic reflex testing. The addition of WB tests of cochlear function included in the WB test battery provides an opportunity to improve audiological diagnosis of a range of hearing disorders in Veterans. The automation provided by the WB test battery could provide additional benefits in reducing the duration of the evaluation, leaving more time for evaluation of test findings and counseling. Results from this study may lead to the improvement of audiological care for Veterans with hearing loss.
