Summary

This study tests a personalized music program for people who wear hearing aids but are unhappy with how music sounds. Researchers will create a custom frequency profile for each participant and add it to their hearing aids as a dedicated music setting. The trial includes 66 adults, half musicians and half non-musicians, to see if the new program improves listening quality and emotional response compared to standard settings.
