Hearing & Brain Health Study:
The Hearing & Brain Health Study is actively recruiting participants to help advance research on hearing and brain function.
The goal of this study is to better understand how age-related hearing loss affects the brain and why these changes may increase the risk of dementia.
If you are between 60 and 80 years old and think you may have hearing loss, we encourage you to participate. To learn more or determine your eligibility, please email Dr. Fitzhugh at mfitzhugh@ucsd.edu.
Virtual Reality Brain Health Study:
Study summary: The purpose of this study is to use a novel virtual reality (VR) based activity that simultaneously engages physical and cognitive activity aimed at improving brain health and cognition in older adults. We will compare 3 types of activities combined VR physical and cognitive, physical activity only, and VR cognitive activity only over 16 weeks to evaluate changes in brain health, cognition, blood-based biomarkers, and physical function in older adults. Recruitment for this study is currently closed as we finalize enrollment. Please check back in the future for updates on upcoming studies.
