ClinicalTrials.gov finds 1,540 studies for Hearing Loss. How that becomes 796 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Hearing Loss, and those it files under no condition that list Hearing Lossthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count

How long Hearing Loss studies take
Of 321 interventional studies with no phase under Hearing Loss, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interventional, no phase | 19 mo5–42 · 321 studies | 5 mo2–15 · 125 studies | 31 mo14–59 · 196 studies |
| Observational | 42 mo15–83 · 98 studies | — | 50 mo14–179 · 77 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
