Recruiting for the Hearing Loss and Cognition MRI Study

The Cognition and Neuroscience of Aging Lab (CANAL) under the supervision of Dr. John Anderson at Carleton University is currently looking for adults for a study about hearing loss, brain structure, and cognition.

They will ask you to take part in three sessions:

    Session 1 (90 min): over the phone or Zoom where you will be asked a series of screening questions to confirm your eligibility (30 min). If eligible, you’ll be booked for Session 2 and given a link to continue with online surveys (60 min)

    Session 2 (120 min): you will meet in-person at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Center (“The Royal”) and be asked to complete questionnaires, cognitive tasks, hearing assessment and a mock scan. Responses will be audio recorded, though you may opt-out.

    Session 3 (135 min): you will meet in-person at The Royal for the MRI scan.  For a portion of the scan you will be asked to lie still, while for other portions you will lie still while you complete brain games.

Participants with age-related hearing loss will be healthy adults aged 60 and over with either:

    Normal hearing
    Age-related hearing loss
