Hidden Hearing Loss in Older Adults: Mechanisms of Speech-in-noise Perception Deficits and Associated Central Compensation

Sponsor

Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Jun 15, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Hidden Hearing Loss

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate whether speech-in-noise perception deficits in older adults aged 60 years or older with objectively normal hearing thresholds are due to impaired ability of processing temporal cues in speech signals. The study further aims to examine whether cognitive and cortical mechanisms provide compensatory support for speech perception in challenging listening environments.
