Hearing aids for better hearing in noise
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether hearing aids can help reduce background noise for people with hearing loss. It might help you hear better in noisy places.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 16 years old or older.
- You need to have hearing loss in both ears (this trial is about sensorineural hearing loss, meaning the hearing nerve or inner ear is affected, not just a blockage or infection).
- Your hearing loss should be mild, moderate, or severe — meaning you can still hear some sounds with hearing aids.
- You need to be willing to agree to take part in the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how well children and adults can use sound from both ears when they have a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (or a special device that combines both). It looks at how your brain makes sense of sounds to help improve hearing and speech understanding.
This trial checks how well a computer “noise reduction” algorithm works for people who use cochlear implants. It may help make speech easier to understand in noisy settings.
This study tests how well hearing aids help people hear in real-world noisy environments. If you already use hearing aids and have hearing loss in both ears that started after childhood, this trial may help understand how to improve your experience.
This study tests whether hearing aids can help people who have trouble hearing in everyday situations even though their hearing test looks normal. If you qualify, you'll try hearing aids for the first time and see if they improve your hearing.
This study tests different noise reduction settings on hearing aids to see which one helps most during real conversations. It may help find better ways to hear in noisy places.
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.
