Can hearing aids reduce noise? A study of better hearing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether newer hearing aid features can help people with hearing loss hear better in noisy places. If you have mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss, you may be able to join and try different hearing aid settings to see which ones work best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- You must have sensorineural hearing loss (nerve-related, not caused by ear blockage or middle ear issues).
- Your hearing loss should be mild, moderate, or severe — not profound.
- You must be willing to give your permission to be in the study.

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 how well people understand speech in noisy settings, comparing younger and older adults with normal hearing and older adults with hearing loss. It aims to improve our understanding of hearing aid benefits.
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.
This study tests how different hearing aid noise reduction features help you hear in a realistic conversation. You'll wear hearing aids and walk around while talking to someone.
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence can improve speech clarity in hearing aids for people with normal hearing or mild hearing loss. It may help if you have trouble understanding speech in noisy environments.
