Fall Risk Assessment and Speech Intelligibility Enhancement Using In-ear Device

NCT05365646 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 350

Last updated 2026-04-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate methods to use hearing aids equipped with embedded sensors and artificial intelligence to assist in the assessment of fall risk and in the implementation of interventions aimed at reducing the risk of falling, as well as to improve speech intelligibility in quiet and in background noise, track physical activity, and social engagement. The investigators hope is that the knowledge that is generated through this study will ultimately translate to the clinical setting and will help reduce the likelihood that individuals experience a fall, and improve the quality of hearing in individuals who wear hearing aids.
