First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at why some people aged 60 and older have trouble understanding speech in noisy settings, even though their standard hearing tests are normal. Researchers will use hearing tests and brain scans to see if the problem is related to how the brain processes sound timing. The goal is to better understand this hidden hearing loss and how the brain tries to compensate.
