NCT05331404

Brief Summary

Hearing aids restore efficiently some auditory functions in age-related hearing loss (ARHL or presbycusis) providing to the elderly an access to oral communication and a return to social life. However, a most of the assessments of their efficacy focus on speech recognition. Spatial hearing and localization are anothers important auditory functions merely evaluated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hearing aids benefits for spatial hearing.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • For presbyacusics subjects:
  • Subjects aged over 50 with a difference in symmetrical audiometric thresholds (\< 15 dB) between the two ears and requiring hearing aids
  • Affiliation to a social security scheme or equivalent
  • Acceptance of the protocol and signature of the consent form
  • For older people with normal hearing:
  • Subjects matched in age (+/- 2 years) and gender with the presbycusis group
  • Affiliation to a social security scheme or equivalent
  • Acceptance of the protocol and signature of the consent form
  • Subjects with normal hearing, with hearing thresholds of 20 dB \< 2kHz and 40 dB \< 4kHz
  • For young people with normal hearing:
  • Subjects aged between 18 and 40 years old,
  • Symmetric normal hearing
  • Affiliation to a social security scheme or equivalent
  • Normally hearing subjects with audiometric thresholds \< 20 dB
  • Acceptance of the protocol and signature of the consent form

You may not qualify if:
