What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether listening to music with a steady beat can improve how older adults with age-related hearing loss process sentences. Researchers will have 55 participants aged 70 or older listen to regular or irregular rhythm music, then judge if sentences are grammatically correct. The goal is to see if musical priming can temporarily boost language skills.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
musical priming (listening to music with regular or irregular rhythm)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple music-based exercises to help older adults with hearing loss better understand spoken language.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 55 participants. The effect may be small or not apply to everyday conversation. It does not test hearing aids or medical treatments.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 55 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

70 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * No objection to participation in the study * Men and women aged ≥ 70 years * Patients diagnosed with presbyacusis (age-related bilateral and symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss, all stages combined), with or without the use of a bilateral hearing aid. * If they use a hearing aid: hearing must have an average free-field fitted tonal threshold of 40 dB max and free-field fitted speech discrimination without lip-reading of 90-100% at 60dB in silence. * MMSE score ≥ 24/30 Exclusion Criteria: * Person under legal protection (curatorship, guardianship) * Person under court order * Adult unable to provide consent * Person with a neurocognitive disorder (post-stroke, dyslexia, dyspraxia) or neuro-psychiatric disorder (dementia, autism) * Severe sensorineural hearing loss with mean free-field threshold \> 40 dB and free-field speech discrimination without lip-reading of \< 90-100% at 60dB in silence * Asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss due to an additional cause of hearing loss on one side. Secondary exclusion criteria: Person with syntax disorder (discovery of sentence comprehension or production disorders during syntax test)
