Clinical trials

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of manual acupuncture for patients with acute primary tinnitus.

Congenital hearing loss, as well as hearing loss present at birth, is one of the most common chronic conditions in children, with a prevalence of permanent bilateral hearing loss of 2.83 per 1000 children of primary school age, which is mainly caused by genetic factors. The goal of this observational study is to learn about novel causative genes in infants with hearing loss in the Chinese population. The main problem it aims to deal with are: * to present the genetic characteristics of the infant with hearing loss in the Chinese population * to build up a prognostic model base on diverse data. Participants will be asked to receive audiological tests and collection of the peripheral blood sample.

The goal of this observational study is to describe the multi-omics characteristics and to learn about the prognostic factors in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). The main problems it aims to deal with are: * if there is a difference in data of exome and targeted sequencing among patients with SSNHL affecting bilateral and unilateral sides, and healthy controls * if there is a difference in the parameter of MRI among patients with SSNHL affecting bilateral and unilateral sides, and healthy controls * to find out which factor from multi-omics data relates to outcomes of SSNHL * to develop the best prognostics model based on the multi-omics data. Participants will be received audiological tests, blood specimen collection and radiological examination. Researchers will explore the relationship between the multi-omics data and the prognosis and develop the predictive model.
