Speech in noise study for mild cognitive impairment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) understand speech in noisy settings. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help people with thinking and memory concerns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 80 years old.
- You have either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or normal thinking and memory.
- Your hearing is normal—no significant hearing loss, active ear infections, or ear problems.
- You speak English as your first language.
- You do not have other health issues that affect thinking, like Parkinson's disease, severe mental illness, or recent major head injury.

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 whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial stimulation) combined with listening exercises can help people who have trouble hearing speech in noise. If you are 50 or older and struggle to follow conversations in crowded places, this trial may be a good fit.
This study is testing whether listening to clear speech (slow, precise) helps older adults understand and remember sentences better. If you're between 60 and 90, right-handed, and a native English speaker, this trial may help you or your loved one learn more about how to improve communication as you age.
This study looks at how severe hearing loss affects thinking and memory in adults aged 45–64. Researchers will compare people with significant hearing loss to people with normal hearing who are similar in age, sex, and education.
This study tests how well you can understand speech when the task is mentally demanding. It may help researchers understand hearing and brain processing in older adults.
This trial studies how hearing relates to early memory and movement problems in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It may help find new ways to detect and track these conditions.
