Study Summary

This trial focuses on understanding how adults with SNHL process speech & memory, and how speaking style can help them better understand and remember what they hear.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for right-handed English speakers aged 60-90 with normal cognitive function (MoCA score ≥25). Participants can have mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss but must not have psychiatric/neurological illnesses, eye diseases affecting pupil dilation, or be on certain drugs that alter brain function.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study examines how clear speech affects the effort of listening and memory during sentence processing in older adults with sensorineural hearing loss. It uses pupillometry and brain potential measures to understand the impact of speaking style on language comprehension and memory.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive procedures like monitoring pupil response and brain activity during speech tasks, there are no direct side effects from interventions like medications. However, fatigue or discomfort from participating in testing sessions may occur.
