Predicting age-related hearing loss using risk factors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This study examines why some older adults lose hearing with age and what factors predict it. Researchers will use your hearing test records and health history to better understand age-related hearing loss, which may help doctors identify people at risk earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older
- You have previous hearing test results (pure-tone audiometry) from multiple visits over time
- You have a documented history of workplace noise exposure during your career
- Your medical records and medication history are complete and available
- Your hearing loss is primarily due to age and/or occupational noise, not other ear conditions
- You are able to complete hearing assessments and don't have severe mental illness or cognitive impairment that would prevent participation

This study follows adults over 60 with age-related hearing loss to understand how hearing changes may relate to early signs of dementia. Researchers will monitor your hearing and thinking abilities over time to find connections between the two.
This study follows older adults who have age-related hearing loss to see whether wearing hearing aids helps protect thinking and memory over time. You may be included if your hearing loss is the type that hearing aids can usually improve and if your thinking test scores suggest mild cognitive difficulties.
This trial compares two types of hearing aids (one made in China, one imported) to see which works better for age-related hearing loss. You might benefit if you have moderate to severe hearing loss and are willing to test both devices.
This study investigates 'hidden hearing loss'—a condition where people have normal standard hearing test results but still struggle to hear in difficult situations. Researchers want to understand this problem better in adults over 60 to potentially improve diagnosis and treatment.
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 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.
