Could nicotine gum sharpen hearing in older adults?
NCT ID NCT04971954
Summary
This study is testing whether nicotine gum can help reverse age-related difficulties in processing sounds, like understanding speech in noisy places. Researchers will give 48 non-smoking adults, both young and older, nicotine gum or a placebo during separate sessions to measure its effects on hearing tests and brain activity. The goal is to see if this approach could eventually lead to better treatments for hearing loss associated with aging.
