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
