UCL Ear Institute Collaboration

Harley Street Hearing is honoured to be working in collaboration with the evidENT research team at the UCL Ear Institute on the REGAIN (REgeneration of inner ear hair cells with GAmma-secretase INhibitors) study. The aim of this study is to test a new drug that may be able to treat sensorineural hearing loss. This is the most common form of hearing loss, which can be caused by damage to the hair cells lining the inner ear. Harley Street Hearing is one of the sites helping to identify potential participants for the REGAIN clinical trial.

University College London Ear Institute have selected Harley Street Hearing as an observation site to place students studying for their Masters Degree in Audiological Science. We were particularly pleased to help on this project as three members of our team are UCL graduates themselves. At Harley Street Hearing we are keen to support the training and development of young people in the field of audiology, so you may be asked if a student can observe during your appointment.

Please feel completely free to let us know if you would prefer not to have a student present.
