Memory, hearing, and life challenges
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how hearing problems and difficult life situations (like financial or social challenges) are linked to memory and thinking problems. By participating, you can help researchers understand these connections better, which may lead to improved care for people with memory issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 50 years old.
- You must be a patient at a memory clinic for memory or thinking complaints.
- You must have a confirmed cognitive impairment (for example, mild cognitive impairment or dementia).
- You must not currently use a hearing aid.
- You must be able to communicate in French, or if your memory is severely impaired (MMSE score 20 or less), you must have a family member who can accompany you.

This study looks at how to detect hearing loss early in people with mild to moderate memory problems. It may help understand if hearing issues affect thinking skills.
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 people with hearing aids perceive sound. It compares results between hearing-impaired and normal-hearing participants to better understand hearing challenges in daily life.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
This study is developing a set of hearing tests to more precisely identify age-related hearing loss. It may help you (or the study team) better understand what type of hearing problem you have and how to guide next steps.
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.
