Clinical Trial: Improving Speech in Noise Perception for Individuals With Age-related Hearing Loss

U.S., Sept. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07192757) titled 'Improving Speech in Noise Perception for Individuals With Age-related Hearing Loss' on Sept. 09.

Brief Summary: Hearing loss, especially for speech perception in the presence of noise, may lead older individuals to withdraw from social situations.
