About

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), like neurodegenerative diseases, appears insidiously with age. As major public health issues, they are nonetheless under-diagnosed because the presence of one can hinder the objectification of the other.

The CogAudio project aims to detect early and in an ambulatory mode in a memory centre a speech perception disorder in noise thanks to the VRB test in patients weakened by cognitive disorders.
