NCT ID NCT07321691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a hearing rehabilitation program called Hear2Share for elderly people in nursing homes who have hearing loss. The program uses a simple hearing device and is run by nursing home staff. Researchers will measure how well participants can hear words and how often they use the device.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hearing rehabilitation device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could improve hearing and communication for many elderly people in nursing homes, reducing isolation and depression.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is simple and may not work for everyone.
