Study Summary

This trial looks at how changing how we process sound affects how we interpret speech.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults aged 18-65 with bilateral, symmetric sensorineural hearing loss that's less than 75 dB at low frequencies. It excludes non-native English speakers, those with normal or mixed hearing loss, asymmetric hearing loss, and severe loss above 70 dB at higher frequencies.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the Tympan device to see how its nonlinear signal processing algorithms affect speech understanding in people with certain types of hearing loss.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a non-invasive device designed to improve speech perception, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from wearing the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who is the ideal demographic for participating in this medical experiment?

"The criteria for inclusion in this trial necessitates that participants have a form of hearing loss caused by nerve damage and be between the ages of 18-65. At present, 50 individuals are sought to join the study."

Answered by AI

Are there available appointments for participants in this clinical investigation?

"According to the information housed on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial has recently reopened recruitment; its first posting was August 1st 2023 and its last update occurred August 24th of that same year."

Answered by AI

Are adults over 40 eligible to join this investigation?

"To be applicable for this trial, applicants must fall within the parameters of 18 to 65 years old. An additional 56 studies are available for those under 18 and 142 more trials exist for participants over 65."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum number of individuals who can be enlisted in this trial?

"Correct. According to medical informations posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this experiment is currently recruiting participants who can be found at one location. This trial was first advertised on August 1st 2023 and the latest update occurred 24 days later. The total number of recruited patients needs to reach 50 individuals."
