ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06955494
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Although previous studies indicated that tackling hearing loss may have a secondary benefit in improving cognitive function and delaying the onset of dementia, a more integrated care approach to optimize both hearing and cognitive function may be needed for individuals who already developed cognitive decline. To address the dual care needs for PwMCI and hearing impairment, it may be possible to integrate auditory training into cognitive training, as both of them are activity-based and focus on increasing the attention and working memory of an individual to engage in the auditory communication process.
