Brain and hearing training for older adults with hearing loss
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a fun, web-based brain and hearing training program for older adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. The goal is to see if this dual-task training (listening and thinking at the same time) can strengthen the connection between your ears and brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older and speak Cantonese or Mandarin.
- You have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears (not using hearing aids).
- You have not been diagnosed with dementia or a major memory problem.
- You have no serious health issues (like a recent stroke, severe depression, or vision problems) that would interfere with online training.

This study tests whether training exercises for hearing (and possibly combined hearing plus memory training) can help older adults communicate better. It focuses on people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss who can do home practice on a computer and internet.
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 trial tests whether auditory training can improve how people process sounds. It compares outcomes between younger adults (18-30) and older adults (60-85) who have normal or near-normal hearing.
This study tests whether a brain-training program done on a smartphone can improve hearing, thinking, and quality of life in people with mild memory problems and hearing loss. You and a family caregiver will use the program together.
This study tests whether a hearing-friendly physical activity program can help older adults with mild to moderate hearing loss stay active. It uses a smartphone app designed for people with hearing loss, so you can join without worrying about hearing instructions.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial stimulation) combined with listening exercises can help people who have trouble hearing speech in noise. If you are 50 or older and struggle to follow conversations in crowded places, this trial may be a good fit.
