Description
Luciana Macedo de Resende and co-authors report hiring hurdles in a 2025 study on hearing and dementia in Brazil. Hearing rehabilitation may improve thinking outcomes in dementia, but getting patients into such studies is hard. Counseling sessions go unattended and hearing devices go unused, the team found.
The first stage of a pilot study screened 184 dementia patients at a university hospital clinic in Belo Horizonte. Recruitment ran in two steps: a hearing test first, then a full brain and thinking assessment. The paper lays out where families dropped away and why, to help future trials design kinder, workable entry paths.
