Could treating hearing loss help Alzheimer's patients find their words?

NCT ID NCT03638323

Summary

This small, completed study aimed to understand if age-related hearing loss is linked to the common symptom of word-finding difficulty in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers assessed 46 French-speaking participants over 65 with mild Alzheimer's, testing their hearing and ability to name objects and actions. The goal was to gather knowledge about this connection, which could inform future care approaches.
