Online Focus Group for older adults with acquired anosmia, hyposmia, or parosmia

This online focus group will help us to capture the experiences and views of older adults living with a loss of smell (acquired anosmia), a reduced sense of smell (hyposmia), or a distorted sense of smell (parosmia) and / or their caregivers.

To take part in this group you, or the person you care for, must:

• Be 65+ and experiencing acquired anosmia, hyposmia, or parosmia
• Be willing to share your views about your experiences and the current therapies including surgery, steroids, and smell training.

This will help Fifth Sense and our partners to design studies that meet the needs of the people we represent.
