Brain-Training games aim to boost hearing in crowds
NCT ID NCT05145946
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to test whether playing specially designed video games at home could improve the ability of older adults with high-frequency hearing loss to understand speech in noisy environments. Participants would have played either an immersive audiomotor game or an auditory memory game for 3.5 hours per week over 8 weeks. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Video game training (closed-loop audiomotor game and auditory memory game)
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could point toward a non-drug, game-based way to help older adults hear better in noisy places.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results exist. Even if run, it was small and early-stage, so success was uncertain.
