Hearing Loss Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People aged between 60 and 90 years old
• People who are right-handed
• People whose first language is English
• People who score 25 points or above on a standard memory and thinking test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
• For people with hearing loss, a hearing test result showing an average hearing loss greater than 25 dB HL in the 1–4 kHz frequency range

Who may not be able to join:

• People who are left-handed, as brain response patterns differ from those of right-handed people
• People with a history of psychiatric or neurological conditions, including skull fractures, as these can affect brain signal readings
• People who score below 25 points on the MoCA memory and thinking test
• People who take certain prescription or non-prescription medications known to affect brain function or the nervous system, such as antidepressants or ADHD medications (confirm with trial site for a full list)
• People with an eye condition that would affect the ability to measure pupil size, such as cataracts, nystagmus, or amblyopia (lazy eye)
• People who score below 50% on a speech-listening control task, which may suggest difficulty understanding spoken words clearly enough for the study
• People whose behaviour during the study would significantly interfere with data collection or safety
