Hearing Aid and Individuals With Cognitive Disorders
This pilot study is testing whether different ways of fitting hearing aids — by an audiologist, through a support service, or as a standalone device — can help older adults with mild or moderate cognitive impairment who also have hearing loss. It measures how hearing aids affect daily life and caregiver burden at six weeks. A Phase NA pilot means it is a feasibility run to see if a larger trial is worth doing, not a test of effectiveness yet.
You may qualify if
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score lower than 25 points
- Adult-onset mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss
You're excluded if
- Non-native English speaker
- Prior hearing aid experience
