Could a simple hearing aid calm dementia agitation? johns hopkins investigates

NCT ID NCT06930560

Summary

This study is testing whether providing hearing aids and communication support to older adults with both Alzheimer's disease and hearing loss can reduce distressing symptoms like agitation and improve their relationship with their caregiver. Researchers will enroll 300 participants and randomly assign them to receive either the hearing care program or standard care. The main goal is to see if better hearing leads to fewer neuropsychiatric symptoms and less caregiver distress.
