ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new digital therapy called AUDISSEE, which is designed to help improve the ability to hear and understand speech in noisy environments for older adults who have age-related hearing loss (known as presbycusis) and use hearing aids. The goal is to see how effective this device is for those who may struggle to hear clearly when there is background noise.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with presbycusis by a healthcare professional. They should also have been using hearing aids for less than two years and must not have any major cognitive issues or other serious health conditions. Participants will need access to a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone to complete the training exercises. This study is currently not recruiting participants, but if you or a family member meet these criteria and are motivated to improve your hearing, this trial could be a promising opportunity once it starts.
