NCT ID NCT02729402
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether cochlear implants, devices that help people hear, can also improve thinking and memory in adults aged 65 and older with hearing loss. Researchers gave participants memory and attention tests before and after getting the implant, then tracked changes for up to 5 years. The goal was to understand if better hearing might help protect against dementia, not to cure or treat any disease.
