Sound Sensitivity and Mental Health (Hyperacusis) Across Adulthood

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED!

We are seeking adults of all ages to participate in an online research study on hyperacusis (hypersensitivity to sounds) across the adult lifespan. This study aims to better understand how sensitivity to everyday sounds may vary with age and impact daily life. Participation involves completing online questionnaires and will help advance research on sound sensitivity and hearing health. Your participation is voluntary, confidential, and can contribute to improving awareness and care for individuals with hyperacusis.

Cognitive Load and Memory Performance Across the Adult Lifespan

Understanding How We Listen, Think, and Remember

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED!

The amount of effort our brain needs to process information is called cognitive load. Research has shown that as we age, remembering and holding onto information for short periods (short-term memory) often becomes more challenging, even when hearing seems normal. But why do some people manage these challenges better than others? This project explores how short-term memory changes across different stages of adulthood.

If you choose to join this study, you will:

  • Complete short surveys about your background and lifestyle, either online or in-person.

  • Take part in memory tasks while you wear comfortable glasses that measure how your eyes move, helping us understand how much effort your brain is using during the tasks. This part of the study will be held in the laboratory.
