An observational study in Conductive Hearing Loss and Sensorineural Hearing Loss, sponsored by Audioptics Medical Incorporated. Not yet recruiting at 2 sites in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-29.
Sponsored by Audioptics Medical Incorporated · Observational
This study involves imaging ears with hearing loss with a new system that allows the user to see the middle ear bones and measure their movement in response to sound.
This study is an exploratory clinical investigation to obtain pilot imaging and vibrometry data in patients with various hearing loss aetiologies and to identify qualitative and quantitative features associated with specific pathologies. The data collected in this study is intended to support future investigations into the accuracy of the system in diagnosing specific middle ear disorders.
82 studies on the registry are indexed under Hearing Loss, Conductive; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 500 is above the median of 71 across 20 observational studies indexed under Hearing Loss, Conductive.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
