A program to help adults adjust to new hearing aids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a simple and organized program to help people get used to their new hearing aids. If you are 55 or older, new to hearing aids, and have certain types of hearing loss, this program may help you hear better in daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older
- You have hearing loss that is the same type and severity in both ears (nerve-related, not from earwax or infection)
- You have never worn hearing aids before, or are new to using them
- You can understand, read, and speak English well enough to take part in training and testing
- You do not have major memory or thinking problems (we will do a quick test to check)
- You are willing to try a specific type of hearing aid (a basic one that sits in your ear canal)

This study tests two types of online listening exercises that may help improve how well you understand speech in noise, even for people who normally use hearing aids. You'll practice from home and researchers will check if it helps your hearing, thinking, and everyday conversations.
This trial studies whether a structured auditory (hearing) and cognitive (thinking) training program can improve outcomes for adults who use cochlear implants. It’s designed for people at a certain stage after their implant and with specific hearing and thinking test results.
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 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.
