Study of hearing aid results in people with Alzheimer’s dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how much hearing aid outcomes vary in older adults who have Alzheimer’s dementia or mild memory problems. It may help researchers understand what hearing aids work best and for whom.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows older adults who have age-related hearing loss to see whether wearing hearing aids helps protect thinking and memory over time. You may be included if your hearing loss is the type that hearing aids can usually improve and if your thinking test scores suggest mild cognitive difficulties.
This trial compares two types of hearing aids (one made in China, one imported) to see which works better for age-related hearing loss. You might benefit if you have moderate to severe hearing loss and are willing to test both devices.
This trial tests whether over-the-counter hearing aids can help people with mild memory loss (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia) who also have hearing loss. You and a communication partner will participate together to see if improving hearing can also help with thinking and communication.
This study tests new features on hearing aids to see if they help people hear better. It is for adults with a specific type of hearing loss who already use hearing aids.
This study tests whether hearing aids can help people with both hearing loss and early memory problems. It lasts for a period of time, and you will be asked to wear hearing aids daily.
This study follows adults over 60 with age-related hearing loss to understand how hearing changes may relate to early signs of dementia. Researchers will monitor your hearing and thinking abilities over time to find connections between the two.
