Request from Nottingham University for participation in a study
To whom it may concern,
I hope you are well. I’m getting in touch to ask whether you might be willing to share a research opportunity with your u3a members who may be interested in taking part. We are looking for people who find it hard to hear speech in noisy places to join an online training study. The study is suitable for adults aged 18 and over, including those who use hearing aids. It is not suitable for people with cochlear implants because the way sounds are processed is different.
In this study, we will be testing two new training games in a programme called PLUS (Practice Listening and Understanding Speech). The study aims to improve two new listening and thinking games as a support tool for people with hearing loss. These listening and thinking games were developed with people with hearing loss and are designed to support everyday listening, including listening in noise.
If you feel this may be of interest to your members, we would be very grateful if you could include the study in your newsletter, email updates or on your website. I have attached the Participant Information Sheet and our study poster, which you are welcome to include in your communications and share with your members. I’ve also included a short, ready‑to‑paste blurb below to make sharing easier:
🗣️ Do you have difficulties hearing speech in noisy environments?
📅 Are you age 18 or over?
We invite you to be part of an online study!
