Volunteers Needed for a Home Auditory Training Study

Researchers at the University of Kentucky, College of Health Sciences are conducting a research study to measure the benefit of an auditory training program that can be used at home with your television to help improve listening for adults with hearing aids. Since some hearing aid users are not satisfied with their current hearing aids, this training may be a useful way to help improve how well they understand speech in noise. Initial and follow-up testing occurs over 4 visits (about 1- 2 hours each) and training at home will occur over 4 weeks, but can be done at your convenience.

You may be able to participate if you:

  • Are an adult with hearing loss who is a new or experienced hearing aid user
  • Are between 50-79 years of age
  • Have adequate vision to see and operate a television and remote control
  • Have no history of neurological or psychiatric disorder

If you meet these qualifications for the study, please contact Anne Olson, investigator and research coordinator, at (859) 218-0572 or aolso2@uky.edu.
