NCT ID NCT07543770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new wind noise canceller for hearing aids that aims to reduce bothersome wind sounds while keeping speech clear. About 25 adults with mild to moderate-severe hearing loss will compare the new canceller to an older version by listening to recordings and choosing which sounds better. The goal is to see if the new version improves sound quality enough to support marketing claims.
