NCT ID NCT07389213
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS with hearing aids can improve cognitive function in older adults with age-related hearing loss. About 189 participants, including those with and without hearing aids, will receive two 14-day courses of rTMS and be tested on memory, thinking, and brain activity. The goal is to see if this combination can help slow or reverse cognitive decline.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to slow or improve cognitive decline in older adults with hearing loss.
What could go wrong
This is an early real-world study, not a large randomized trial. Results may not apply to everyone, and the cognitive benefits of rTMS are still uncertain.
