Music and language study for older adults with hearing loss
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic or non-rhythmic music can help improve sentence understanding in older adults with age-related hearing loss. It aims to see if music patterns can boost language skills.
