Participate in Research
Please review the list below and let us know if you are interested in any of the ongoing studies. Our projects typically require you to fill out questionnaires about your hearing or general health. They may also involve tests of your hearing. These tests are conducted using earphones that are similar to the earbuds used to listen to music or make phone calls. Our research projects are held in Evanston on the campus of Northwestern University, although we often have projects with multiple centers around the country. Parking in Evanston is provided, and each session lasts 2 to 3 hours at most. If you are interested in participating in a study, please contact us at:
