Hearing and cognition in aging adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how hearing and thinking skills change as people age. It may help researchers understand how hearing loss relates to memory and thinking, which could lead to better support for 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.
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 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 looks at how hearing loss in older adults relates to thinking and memory problems like dementia. It aims to improve hearing care and identify early signs of cognitive decline.
This study looks at how differences in hearing between your ears affect your ability to hear in noisy places. Researchers want to learn more across different ages.
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.
