Abstract
ACHIEVE is a collaborative project involving University of South, University of Pittsburgh, The University of North Carolina of Chapel Hill, The University of Mississippi Medical Center, Wake Forest University, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Minnesota. At USF, the ACHIEVE study is led by Dr. Teresa (Terry) Chisolm, Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders and Site Principal Investigator. The study is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Victoria Sanchez, Co-Principal Investigator and Audiologist at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine Department of Otolarynology and Dr. Michelle Arnold, Co-Principal Investigator and Professor at the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders.
The study focuses on studying evidence-based hearing interventions and understanding the relationship between hearing aid usage on reduction in cognitive decline. USF team studies hearing-intervention group whereas University of Pittsburgh studies non hearing-intervention group.
