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 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 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 two types of online listening exercises that may help improve how well you understand speech in noise, even for people who normally use hearing aids. You'll practice from home and researchers will check if it helps your hearing, thinking, and everyday conversations.
