Determine the Effect on Cognitive Impairment Measures by Providing Hearing-Assistance to Skilled Nursing Facility Residents

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hearing Impairment

In brief

The purpose of the study is to see if a commercially available hearing assistance device called the PockeTalker has an effect on performance on cognitive (memory and thinking) tests among skilled nursing facility residents. Investigators are asking residents to perform cognitive tests with and without hearing assistance equipment known as PockeTalkers. This study will be conducted at one urban Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) with the goal of understanding the extent to which hearing impairment impacts commonly used cognitive impairment measures for clinical assessment. Cognitive performance will be measured, cerumen occlusion, and perceived hearing.
