The Hearing Research Laboratory is recruiting participants for a research study on how different listening conditions affect our ability to perceive noisy speech that has been processed in a way that mimics state-of-the-art hearing aids. We are interested in determining how hearing aid settings can be optimized for speech understanding when we are listening with two ears in realistic environments.
You may be eligible if you are aged 18 years or older with normal hearing.
What will you have to do? If you qualify, you will be presented speech and will repeat back the words/sentences that you hear. You will visit the Hearing Research Lab about three times.
How much time will it take? The study will include three visits over approximately two to three weeks, for a total of about four hours in the laboratory. We will schedule the visits at a time convenient for you. You will be paid $15 per hour for your time. You will also receive a free hearing test to determine if you qualify for the study.
The study will be held in the Hearing Research Laboratory in the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences at 2501 Kittredge Loop Rd.
Contact hearlab@colorado.edu with any questions.

Nominations are due by 5 p.m. on April 14. Nominate today.
We are recruiting participants for a research study. You may be eligible if you are 18 years or older and are a member of the CU Boulder community (faculty, staff, student or alumni).
Along with a small group, you will walk to several locations on campus; and at each location, you will fill out a survey about your perception of sounds you hear in each location. You will be provided with a survey and pen/pencil.
The sound walk will take about one hour. For your participation, you may choose to be entered into a drawing for $25 gift cards.
The study will be held outside on the CU Boulder campus. You will meet the rest of the group at the buffalo statue outside of Folsom Field, and from there the group will move to the other selected locations.
Currently, we are recruiting for sound walk sessions the week of Feb. 20 (weather permitting). Sign up and get more information.
