Article Synopsis
- - The SingWell Project aims to investigate whether group singing can improve speech-in-noise perception and overall mental health in older adults experiencing unaddressed hearing loss, addressing gaps in previous studies.
- - The study will involve 210 participants aged 60 and above, who will be randomly assigned to either a group singing program or an audiobook club for 12 weeks, with various assessments conducted throughout.

Article Synopsis
- Hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline and increased risk of falls, as it requires extra cognitive resources for listening, potentially impacting other tasks.
- The study aims to investigate if at-home cognitive training can enhance dual-task performance (doing two tasks simultaneously) in both normal-hearing adults and older adults who use hearing aids.
- A randomized controlled trial will compare a 12-week executive function training program against a wait-list control, evaluating its effects on cognition, mobility, and hearing across different age groups.
