Official Title: Impacts of Hearing Aid Use on Listening Effort and Motivation Using fNIRS
Brief Summary: The purpose of the current study is to measure oxygenation in the PFC using fNIRS in a sample of older adults with hearing loss.
Participants will be instructed to listen to sentences in noise at a challenging signal-to-noise-ratio, and to indicate what they heard using a closed-set response interface.
Participants will complete 4 sessions: a training session, and a session for each condition.
During each test session, participants will be instructed to listen to at least 100 sentences.
Oxygenation, response times, and listening accuracy will be measured throughout.
