Age-Related Hearing Loss

Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)’s Emerging Research Grants (ERG) program awards grants to researchers studying age-related hearing loss, including:

  • Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of age-related hearing loss

  • Role and management of comorbidities especially relevant to older populations

  • Auditory processing, particularly in loud or reverberant environments

  • Genetic factors in the development and/or treatment of age-related hearing loss

  • Devices or medications specifically for older populations

ERG awards are for up to $50,000 per year, one year in length in the first instance, and renewable for a second year. Find more information below about age-related hearing loss projects awarded a grant in prior years.

Researchers interested in applying for an Emerging Research Grant are encouraged to review our grant policy. Please also check our ERG page and sign up for grant alerts for application cycle dates and specific grant opportunities available this year.
