Where the trials are
Listed sites in each state and territory. Choose one to show only the trials with a site there, and choose it again to show them all.
2 listed sites on this page do not say which state they are in, so the counts above are lower than the real number of sites in some states. The trials themselves are all listed below.
Trials for Hearing Loss
12 of 12 trials shown.
This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials overseas
392 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.
These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Hearing Loss
The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.
It's frustrating to be unable to hear well enough to enjoy talking with friends or family. Hearing disorders make it hard, but not impossible, to hear. They can often be helped. Deafness can keep you from hearing sound at all. What causes hearing loss? Some possibilities are: - Heredity - Diseases such as ear infections and meningitis - Trauma - Certain medicines - Long-term exposure to loud noise - Aging There are two main types of hearing loss. One happens when your inner ear or auditory nerve is damaged. This type is usually permanent. The other kind happens when sound waves cannot reach your inner ear. Earwax buildup, fluid, or a punctured eardrum can cause it. Treatment or surgery can often reverse this kind of hearing loss. Untreated, hearing problems can get worse. If you have trouble hearing, you can get help. Possible treatments include hearing aids, cochlear implants, special training, certain medicines, and surgery.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
