Are you aged 18-30 or 50-70?
As we get older, our hearing can decline. For people who expose their ears to lots of noise (e.g. noisy jobs or loud hobbies), this process might be speeded up. My PhD aims to determine how occupational noise exposure affects hearing in older adults, which
should help scientists and audiology services better identify and diagnose hearing difficulties.
To do this, I am looking for people aged 18-30 or 50-70 years with no
past clinical diagnosis of hearing loss and memory problems. You may have previously been exposed to occupational noise by working in a noisy job OR
you may have had relatively low exposure to noise throughout your life.
If that describes you, then you can help out our science by completing my online survey. This
takes around 30 minutes and can be completed on any smartphone, tablet, laptop,
PC. You will tell us about your hearing and noise exposure, then take part in some challenging-but-interesting online tests (assessing
memory and listening abilities).
