NCT ID: NCT05312983 Recruiting - Presbyacusis Clinical Trials

Development of a Battery of Audiological Tests for the Precision Diagnosis of Age-related Hearing Loss

AUDIOGENAGE
Start date: July 28, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis, is caused by many genetic and environmental factors. Its prevalence poses a public health challenge of early identification and effective hearing aid treatment. However, the lack of screening and of a validated audiological test battery to diagnose an individual's needs and to guide hearing aid adjustments is a major obstacle. Furthermore, monogenic forms of hearing loss affect only one functional module of hearing. The audiological test(s) dependent on the function of this module are affected, in a progressive manner, but not the others. A previous study showed that in early onset presbycusis patients, a quarter of the subjects tested were affected by monogenic presbycusis. The collection of audiological and vestibular tests, carried out on proven monogenic presbycusis patients and compared to that of normal hearing patients, would constitute a battery of tests allowing a precision diagnosis, then developed to all forms of presbycusis in order to study if the identification of abnormal functional modules can usefully guide the diagnosis and the early fitting.

NCT ID: NCT02233361 Recruiting - Presbyacusis Clinical Trials

Use of Hearing Aids. Development and Implementation of a Counselling Program for Hearing Aid Users

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The proportion of elderly people is expected to increase greatly within the next couple of decades, resulting in a proportional increase in the need for hearing rehabilitation. However, studies suggest that as many as 40% of hearing aids are never or seldom used. Thus, a major challenge for audiological rehabilitation is facilitating the use of fitted hearing aids. This study has four objectives; 1) to evaluate the effect of advanced notice of a follow-up appointment on hearing aid use, 2) to implement a specialized counselling program based on MI, 3) to identify barriers to hearing aid use, and 4) to objectively assess hearing aid use with datalogging technology.
