ParticipantsChildren with Cochlear Implants needed to Participate in Study on Classroom Acoustics
Benefits of Your Child's Participation: Participation of your child will contribute towards a better understanding of requirements for designing classrooms for children using cochlear implants and how these requirements may differ from requirements for children with normal hearing. Compensation: Your child or family (depending on your preference) will be compensated for your time and will be reimbursed for travel expenses (roundtrip subway or bus fare or parking expenses (with receipt)). Your child will also receive a “prize” at the end of the session. Summary: We know that poor classroom acoustics can interfere with the ability to hear and understand speech. Very little information is available on how classroom acoustics affect the hearing of speech by young children with cochlear implants. We are examining children’s ability to hear speech recorded in typical classroom environments. The information collected in this study will be used to help improve classroom acoustic conditions for children with cochlear implants, and for children with normal hearing.
