Brief description of study

Why is this study being done?
The purpose of this study is to better understand how our ears and brains help us perceive the world around us. In particular, we are interested in understanding how our senses allow us to have conversations in complex environments such as crowded restaurants and busy streets. We are collecting hearing information from a large number of participants so that we can pinpoint what factors contribute to individual differences in hearing ability.

Who can take part?
ANYONE who is 18 years of age or older, regardless of health condition, is invited to participate.
