New research: Community hearing aid programs really work.
A study published in the American Journal of Audiology (AJA) by Dalhousie University researchers examined outcomes among 179 low-income adults in The Dalhousie Hearing Aid Assistance Program and found that when cost barriers are removed, people don't just get hearing aids. They thrive with them:
-89% received hearing aids for both ears
-Nearly 9.2 hours of daily use on average (that's strong adoption)
-Big drops in self-reported hearing handicap, sustained at both 3 and 12 months
-Over 80% reported meaningful improvement in their specific listening goals
The takeaway: Financial and access barriers, not motivation or ability to benefit, are often what keep people from better hearing health. Community based, publicly funded programs can close that gap and change lives.

We’re proud to share that Dr. Zahra Jafari of Dalhousie University is a 2026 recipient of the Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) New Investigator Grant.

Her project, An Inclusive Approach Towards Developing Biomarkers of Subjective Cognitive Decline and Progression to Dementia, aims to improve the early detection of cognitive decline using innovative eye-tracking technology and visual memory tasks. The goal is to identify those at higher risk earlier, helping individuals, families, and health-care providers access support and plan for care sooner.

Congratulations, Dr. Jafari!
