This federal Project Grant award of $783,083 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) aims to understand the effects of cochlear implants and hearing aids on cognitive function in older adults with age-related hearing loss. The primary goals are to: 1) Compare the cross-sectional impact of cochlear implants versus hearing aids on real-world outcomes like auditory function, cognitive performance, social interaction, and psychosocial wellbeing; and 2) Evaluate...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $2,433,859 supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. The key objectives are to study the molecular, cellular, and connectivity changes in the central auditory system during normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of developing targeted therapeutic strategies. The research integrates single-cell sequencing,...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $295,825 SBIR Phase I Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to Applied Universal Dynamics, Corp. to develop a smartphone-based machine learning software system that enhances speech and reduces background noise for over-the-counter hearing aid devices. This project aims to improve the accessibility, affordability, and acceptance of hearing aid technology, particularly for underserved rural and minority populations who face...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will evaluate the associations between hearing loss and cognitive/brain health outcomes in middle-aged adults. The $262,975 project, running from September 2024 to June 2026, will leverage data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to examine whether hearing loss is linked to cognitive test scores, brain volumes, and dementia risk factors in a diverse, midlife...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $245,625 to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the relationship between hearing loss, language acculturation, and cognitive decline among Hispanic adults in the United States. The 2-year project aims to: Examine whether the association between hearing loss and cognitive decline over 6 years differs by levels of language acculturation in Hispanic adults. Investigate the link...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will fund research to advance the clinical utility of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) for early and precise diagnosis of hearing loss. The $656,723 award to Northwestern University will focus on three key objectives over the 5-year project period beginning September 2024: 1)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,183,821.00 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to investigate the relationship between auditory test performance and Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology. The overarching objective is to determine if peripheral or central auditory processing deficits correlate with the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles in the brain, as well as cognitive decline. The 5-year project will leverage...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $349,016.00 to The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to conduct research on the relationships between high-level cognition, auditory perception, and attentional control mechanisms in normal aging. The key objectives are to: 1) Test the "common cause" hypothesis that declines in attention control and effort underlie age-related changes in both perception and cognition using...
This $221,484 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports a research project at Purdue University investigating the physiological roles of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent pathways and their impact on hearing in noise. The project aims to enhance understanding of the MOC system's role in listening in noise and the effects of sensorineural hearing loss, with...
This Project Grant award of $405,556 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to increase access to hearing healthcare in rural Alabama and Mississippi by assessing the effectiveness of pharmacy technician educational training for the provision of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. The project has two specific aims: 1) to determine an effective approach for...
