ConnectHearing,withhearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants whoareover50yearsof age andhavenever worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changinghearinghealthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and hownewsolutions couldhelp thesepeople take action sooner and live lifemore fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87have somedegreeof hearing loss1, butmost donot seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing losswillwait tenyearsbefore seekinghelp2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing losspeopleoftenfind they can"get by"without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasinglyharder todo. For somepeople this loss of clarity is onlyaproblematnoisy restaurantsor in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process. * Pichora-Fuller, M.
