  • Enrolling Monolingual Adults Age 45-Plus

    For this study, participants will listen to sounds and make decisions about them. As part of the study, we will record brainwaves from sensors placed on your head while you hear different sounds. We will also measure brain structure using MRI. MRI allows us to take detailed pictures of your brain and does not involve radiation.

    There are 3 sessions (up to 3 hrs. each), and scheduling is flexible. Participants will be paid ($10/hr) at the end of the 3 sessions and will receive a hearing test and picture of their brain.

    To be eligible, you must be over 18 and have no history of a hearing or neurological disorder. You must only speak English with no or limited exposure to a second language.
