Summary

This study tests a new hearing aid device (RH210A) in 24 adults with self-perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Participants will compare the investigational device to Apple AirPods Pro with a hearing aid feature. The goal is to see if the new device improves hearing and speech understanding in noise, and to check its safety.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, effective over-the-counter option for people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.
