Testing a drug and sound therapy for age-related hearing difficulty
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of an antihistamine (clemastine fumarate) and specially designed sounds can improve how the brain processes hearing in middle-aged adults with mild hearing loss. It might help if you have trouble understanding speech in noisy settings.

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 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 trial studies a “combined” hearing approach that uses a cochlear implant plus low-frequency sound from a hearing aid. It may help people with different hearing profiles (including cochlear-implant users) hear more naturally by testing how well this combined setup works.
This trial tests using hearing aids with built-in tinnitus maskers to see if they help adults who have both hearing loss and ringing in the ears. It aims to find out if these devices improve hearing and reduce tinnitus symptoms.
This study tests a new hearing device called 'Audiocap' to see if it helps people with mild to moderate hearing loss hear better. It may be an option if you are getting your first hearing aid.
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.
