Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hearing Assistance Device (HAD) First

Tablet, loaded with REDCap will generate a random number that determines the order of test administration with the HAD first or second. Participants randomized to HAD first will use a Hearing Aid Device.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

cognitive testing with HAD (PockeTalker) First

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

tablet, loaded with REDCap will generate a random number that determines the order of test administration with the HAD first or second.

Cognitive testing without HAD First

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

tablet, loaded with REDCap will generate a random number that determines the order of test administration with the HAD first or second.

No Hearing Assistance Device (HAD) First

Sham hearing aid device
