You are invited to take part in a research study on listening effort. The goal of this study is to better understand how individuals with hearing loss define and experience listening effort and fatigue. Your insights may help improve treatment approaches and support services for individuals with hearing loss. As a participant, you will complete surveys on your listening experiences, have your hearing screened, participate in a 2-3 hour interview session, and you will have the opportunity to return for a follow-up session afterwards.
You may be eligible to participate if you are an adult 18 years of age or older and have a hearing loss.
This research study will take 2-3 hours to complete. This study does not involve any risk to you.
