Research Study of Hearing after Exposure to Loud Noise or Music (e.g., shooting, motorcycling, noisy bars, night clubs, concerts, etc.)
The University of Connecticut is recruiting subjects for a study to evaluate changes in hearing after exposure to loud noise or music. Male or female students, aged 18 to 50, who participate in noisy hobbies or recreational activities, and whose native language is American English, are invited to complete anonymously a questionnaire detailing their medical history related to hearing, recreational activities and listening to loud music. Those who wish to be considered for listening tests to establish their hearing acuity will be asked to provide their e-mail addresses. Volunteers selected to participate in the listening tests may schedule them at their convenience, and will be paid $12/hour including travel time to/from our nearest laboratory (UConn Storrs, or UCONN Health Farmington). To complete the questionnaire, log on to https://redcap.uchc.edu/redcap/surveys/index.php?s=b4eD95P8CB
[Study has been approved by UCONN Health Institutional Review Board, IRB number14-155S-2, and is directed by Dr. A.J. Brammer.]
