Project ID: 535

DescriptionStudy to assess how older listeners perform in a speech test compared to younger listeners. The aim is to look at the processes people use to understand speech in difficult situations. The work may have important implications for older adults who experience increased difficulties communicating in a noisy environment. We hope that this study will provide guidance to future methods of diagnosis and rehabilitation in Audiology.
