Impacts of Hearing Aid Use on Listening Effort and Motivation Using fNIRS

Sonova AG·interventional·Posted Jun 8, 2023·Updated Aug 17, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Hearing aids with noise management features for listening in noise and Hearing aid for listening in quiet environments for Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of the current study is to measure oxygenation in the PFC using fNIRS in a sample of older adults with hearing loss. Participants will be instructed to listen to sentences in noise at a challenging signal-to-noise-ratio, and to repeat the word that they heard and rate how much subjective listening effort was required in order to make out the words. fNIRS will be measured throughout. Participants will complete the task using a hearing aid program intended for listening in quiet, and a hearing aid program with new advanced noise management features.
