Testing a new noise-reduction feature for hearing aids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new computer program that helps hearing aids reduce background noise. It might make it easier for people with mild to moderate hearing loss to hear in noisy places.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have mild to moderate hearing loss that starts at 20 dB or more at 2000 Hz and gets worse at higher pitches.
- You cannot have normal hearing, severe or profound hearing loss.
- Your hearing loss must be caused by the cochlea (inner ear), not by other issues like ear infections or nerve damage.
