Co-Designing a Web-Based, Gamified, Auditory-Cognitive Dual-Task Training System for Older Adults with Hearing Loss.

ABSTRACT: Background: Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is associated with decreased communication, reduced social engagement, cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia globally. Although increasing studies report the benefits of combing auditory and cognitive training for older adults with ARHL, more evidence is needed to examine its effects. Moreover, existing training programs have been developed with minimal end-user involvement leading to low adherence rates. This study aimed to investigate the role of co-design in the development of an auditory-cognitive training system for older adults with ARHL. Methods: A co-design methodology was employed. Digital recordings of the co-design workshops were transcribed verbatim. An established reflexive thematic analysis methodology wa
