About this trial

This study aims to investigate whether lip reading rehabilitation improves viseme recognition in individuals with hearing impairments who use hearing aids.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient aged 18 or older

Affiliated with a social security system

Moderate to severe bilateral post-lingual hearing loss, fitted with hearing aids for more than 6 months

Wearing hearing aids for a minimum of 8 hours/day on average over the past month

Disqualifiers

Patient who has already undergone speech therapy rehabilitation as part of their hearing loss treatment

Diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease or history of brain injury (traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumor, meningitis, etc.)

Uncorrected vision or visual impairment affecting lip reading (e.g. AMD, glaucoma, unoperated cataract, etc.)

Presence of severe tinnitus (score > 56) on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaire

Trial population

The study population consists of hearing-impaired individuals with hearing aids

Case-control

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Speechreading training

    Other intervention

    The patient will undergo 16 lip reading training sessions. By developing functional lip reading skills, they will be able to fill in the gaps in auditory information they miss, especially in loud or noisy settings
