Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- Children between the ages of 5 and 17, or adults aged 18 and older, who either have normal hearing or have at least one cochlear implant (a device surgically placed to help with hearing)
- Participants with a cochlear implant must also have some remaining low-frequency (low-pitched sound) hearing in both ears
- Participants with a cochlear implant must have a mild to severe hearing loss in the ear without the implant — people with total deafness in one ear only will not be included
- For cochlear implant users, hearing test results at certain low-pitched sound levels must fall within a specific range in both ears (confirm with trial site)
- All participants must have thinking and reasoning abilities within the typical range for their age
- Adult participants must also pass a standard memory and thinking screening test
- Participants must not have any other conditions that could affect the results, such as autism, a neurological disorder, auditory neuropathy, or general cognitive difficulties
- Cochlear implant participants must be willing to use their implant together with a hearing aid (a combined approach called EAS technology), and this will be checked using device usage records
Who may not be able to join:
- Anyone whose non-verbal reasoning score falls below a standard threshold on a cognitive test (confirm with trial site)
- Adult participants who score below 26 on a standard memory and thinking screening test (the MoCA or HI-MoCA)
