Summary

This study aims to understand how hearing aids affect social interaction and thinking skills in older adults with hearing loss. About 100 participants aged 60 and older will wear a small audio sensor for two weeks to track their conversations, and some will also have brainwave recordings. Researchers hope to learn whether changes in social engagement can explain improvements in cognitive function.
