U.S., March 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07452653) titled 'Optimizing Cochlear Implant Laterality in Patients With Unilateral Vestibular Weakness' on Feb. 28.
Brief Summary: In patients with symmetric hearing loss who meet traditional cochlear implant candidacy criteria yet demonstrate pre-operative unilateral vestibular weakness, the choice of which ear to implant may impact their post-operative vestibular course. We aim to implement both objective videonystagmography metrics as well as subjective patient-reported outcome measures to assess whether selecting laterality for cochlear implantation as it relates to unilateral vestibular loss has a measurable impact on patients' post-operative ...
