NCT ID NCT07608640
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow over 3,000 older adults for three years to see how age-related hearing loss is connected to dementia. Researchers will use hearing tests, cognitive assessments, and blood markers to build a 'Hearing Health Clock' and early screening tools. The goal is to better predict and manage hearing and brain health in aging populations.
