There is promising evidence that group singing may enhance speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. However, there is a lack of robust evidence, primarily due to the literature being based on small sample sizes, single site studies, and a lack of randomized controlled trials. Hence, to address these concerns, this SingWell Project study utilizes an appropriate sample size, multisite, randomized controlled trial approach, with a robust preplanned statistical analysis.\n\nThe objective of the study is to explore if group singing may improve speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss.\n\nThe investigators designed an international, multisite, randomized controlled trial to explore the benefits of group singing for adults aged 60 years and older with unaddressed hearing loss. After undergoing an eligibility screening process and completing an information and consent form, the investigators intend to recruit 210 participants that will be randomly assigned to either group singing or an audiobook club (control group) intervention for a training period of 12-weeks. The study has multiple timepoints for testing, that are broadly categorized as macro (i.e., pre- and post-measures across the 12-weeks), or micro timepoints (i.e., pre- and post-measures across a weekly training session). Macro measures include behavioural measures of speech and music perception, and psychosocial questionnaires. Micro measures include psychosocial questionnaires and heart-rate variability.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that group singing may be effective at improving speech perception and psychosocial outcomes for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss-more so than participants in the control group.",[29,60,61],"Speech Intelligibility","Psychosocial Functioning",[63,64,65],"Hearing loss","speech in noise","psychosocial wellbeing","2025-09-13",{"date":68,"type":38},"2025-09-18",{"date":70,"type":38},"2025-04-15",{"date":72,"type":22},"2026-09",{"name":74,"class":45},"Toronto Metropolitan University",7,{"id":77,"slug":78,"hasResults":11,"nctId":79,"briefTitle":80,"officialTitle":81,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":82,"healthyVolunteers":17,"sex":18,"minAge":54,"maxAge":83,"enrollmentInfo":84,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":86,"briefSummary":87,"conditions":88,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":89,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":90,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":91,"startDateStruct":93,"completionDateStruct":95,"leadSponsor":97,"locationsCount":4},"100598413","hearing-physical-activity-intervention-100598413","NCT07071168","Hearing-physical Activity Intervention","Developing A Hearing-physical Activity Dual-task Training App for Older Adults With Hearing Loss: A Mixed Method Study","The inclusion criteria are: (1) ethnic Chinese aged 60 years and above living at home; (2) with mild to moderate hearing loss diagnosed by a pure-tone average of 20 to 50 dB across octave frequencies 0.5 to 4kHz in both ears; and (3) no cognitive impairment \\[score of ≦2 on the 5-item Abbreviated Memory Inventory for the Chinese (AMIC)\\].\n\nThe exclusion criteria include: (1) those with a diagnosis of a major neurocognitive disorder; (2) a history of symptomatic stroke or other disease of the central nervous system; 3) a serious medical or psychiatric illness (e.g., severe depression, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder) or a visual impairment that would interfere with using app.","90 Years",{"count":85,"type":22},60,[25],"Background\n\nBy 2050, approximately 2.5 billion people are expected to experience some degree of age-related hearing loss (ARHL). Greater ARHL is associated with decreased communication, reduced physical activity and social engagement, increased depressive symptoms, cognitive decline and a higher risk of dementia. While previous studies highlight the benefits of combing hearing training and physical activity for older adults with ARHL, existing interventions are very limited. Additionally, the development of previous interventions often lacks end-user involvement, resulting in low adherence.\n\nObjectives\n\nThis study aims to co-design a hearing-physical activity dual-task training app with older adults with ARHL, the potential end-users; to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the app using based on the theoretical framework of acceptability; and to examine its preliminary effects on improving physical activity, communication, loneliness, depressive symptoms and cognitive functions for older adults with age-related hearing loss.\n\nHypothesis to be tested\n\nThe app is feasible and acceptable to participants. Upon completing the 10-week intervention, the intervention group will report significantly greater improvements in physical activity, communication, loneliness, depressive symptoms and cognitive functions than the control group. These findings will support subsequent investigations in a larger-scale randomized controlled trial.\n\nResearch Design and Methods\n\nThis study consists of three phases. Phase 1: co-develop a prototype app that combines hearing and physical activity dual-task trainings, incorporating a music therapy component for older adults with ARHL. Co-design workshops will be conducted following the community-based participatory research methodology, where participants will engage in plenary and breakout sessions. Phase 2: conduct a two-arm, single-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial. Phase 3: conduct individual semi-structured interviews immediately after the intervention. Four process evaluation outcomes will be observed, namely feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability, along with implementation barriers and facilitators. Participants will include Chinese adults aged 60 years or older, with mild-to-moderate HL with a pure-tone average of 20-50 dB across octave frequencies 0.5 to 4kHz in both ears.\n\nMain outcome measures Physical activity levels.\n\nData analysis\n\nDescriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test or chi square test, generalized estimating equation and thematic analysis will be used.\n\nExpected results\n\nA hearing-physical activity dual-task training app prototype, available in both Cantonese and Mandarin, will be co-designed, tested and refined to a final version. Participants could benefit from incorporating tailored intervention for physical activity with auditory rehabilitation.",[29],"NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-07-08",{"date":92,"type":38},"2025-07-17",{"date":94,"type":22},"2025-09-01",{"date":96,"type":22},"2028-05-31",{"name":98,"class":45},"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"]
