Benefits of Hearing Aids for Right-Left Ear Differences in Children with Hearing Loss
Our research investigates the effects of hearing loss on spatial listening and learning in children. The current study aims to quantify left-and-right ear differences in children with hearing loss relative to their normally hearing peers. Participants include young adults with normal hearing as well as older children with normal hearing and children who use, or could benefit from, hearing aids. Results from the study will reveal hearing aid fitting strategies that may improve spatial listening for children with hearing loss. This project is funded by a grant from the William Demant Foundation.
We are studying the effects of hearing loss on listening and learning in children. This study involves a hearing test, several listening and learning tasks while using our hearing aids, and a short posttest the next day at home.
We are currently seeking children with hearing loss between ages 8 and 15 for this listening and learning study.
