Predicting memory loss from vision and hearing in older Italians
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how vision and hearing problems relate to memory loss in older adults from Southern Italy. Researchers will use these results to build a simple score that predicts who may develop dementia, so that earlier help can be offered.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial uses a speech-based artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect early signs of dementia. You will be asked to record your voice during simple tasks, and the AI will analyze your speech patterns to see if they can help identify memory or thinking problems.
This study looks for early thinking and memory changes in people 50 and older who haven't been diagnosed with cognitive decline. You'll complete a quick assessment to see if further checkups might help.
This study is validating a new assessment tool (the dNA Scale) that measures memory and thinking abilities in older adults. Researchers want to understand how this tool relates to other cognitive tests and may help identify early memory changes or Alzheimer's disease.
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
This study looks at how hearing problems and tough living situations might affect memory and thinking. It is for people over 50 who have memory concerns and are not using a hearing aid.
