Brief Summary
The objectives of the current project aim to determine whether a more controlled amplification method or a visual administration has an effect on hearing impaired older individuals' cognitive test scores.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Cognitive Screening Results (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
The cognitive screening test of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was administered to 4 groups with different administration method conditions (see arms/groups table). MoCA is s standardized cognitive screening tool for mild cognitive impairment and dementia. The total score was used as outcome measure of this study and this score ranges from 0-30, with higher score being better performance.
The outcome measure was assessed immediately after the test. This applies to both conditions for all the arms.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Auditory Working Memory Performance
The outcome measure will be assessed immediately after the test.
Study Arms (4)
Auditory Amplified-Visual
EXPERIMENTALThis arm is designed to test the contrast between auditory amplified and visual conditions.
Auditory Amplified-Unamplified
EXPERIMENTALThis arm is designed to test the contrast between auditory amplified and unamplified conditions.
Auditory Unamplified-Visual
EXPERIMENTALThis arm is designed to test the contrast between auditory unamplified and visual conditions.
Younger control group
OTHERThis arm is designed to validate the visual version by comparing to the auditory version in a group of younger normal hearing controls.
Interventions
The cognitive test will be administered using a computer-based signal processing to amplify the instruction. The presentation level is customized to the individual's hearing thresholds.
The cognitive test will be administered visually by using timed computer slides.
The cognitive test will be administered by using a generic presentation level that simulates a normal conversational level.
