  • Children Aged 8-17 Wanted for Hearing Study

    The Auditory Perception and Neuroscience Lab is currently recruiting children aged 8-17 
    years old with normal hearing for a research study on central auditory processing in 
    children.

    The purpose of this research study is to understand better how auditory 
    processing, hearing, and cognitive abilities contribute to listening performance in school-age children.

    To be eligible, participants must be between 8 and 17 years of age and have hearing within normal limits.

    The current study may take up to 6 hours to complete and will be conducted across 
    multiple sessions of approximately 3 hours each. Testing is divided across multiple 
    sessions to minimize participant fatigue, maintain attention and engagement, and reduce 
    participant burden while ensuring completion of the full testing battery. 

    Participants will complete:
    • Demographic Survey
    • Hearing assessments
    • Physiological assessments
    • Auditory processing assessments
    • Auditory electrophysiological testing
    • Cognitive testing

    Participants will be compensated up to $150.
