简要总结
The study aims to develop, validate, and assess the feasibility of a mobile-based auditory-cognitive training program for hearing aid users with age-related hearing loss (ARHL). Its objectives include creating and validating an auditory-cognitive training module, implementing it on a mobile app platform, and evaluating its effectiveness in improving auditory and cognitive functions.
