Tinnitus Study
The purpose of the Tinnitus research study is to find out how Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) affects the brain. We’ll use non-invasive methods to measure brain activity and learn more about how Tinnitus works. Your participation will help us compare different types of Tinnitus.
We will be asking participants to complete a hearing test to determine their eligibility (that will take about 30 minutes), complete a series of questionnaires, and undergo fNIRS testing (non-invasive brain imaging that uses near-infrared light to measure brain activity) as part of their participation (that will take approximately 90 minutes from start to finish).
Single-Sided Deafness Study
This study explores how the brain adapts to cochlear implants in people with single-sided deafness (SSD), depending on how long they’ve had the condition. Using brain imaging tools like fNIRS and EEG, along with hearing tests and questionnaires, researchers aim to understand how SSD affects brain function and speech perception. Participants will include individuals with SSD and those with normal hearing.
