The University of Nottingham have been in touch to ask whether any Halewood u3a members may be interested in taking part in an online training study. They are looking for people who find it hard to hear speech in noisy places, including hearing aid users. The study aims to improve two new listening and thinking games as a support tool for people with hearing loss.

You would be testing two new listening and thinking games in a programme called PLUS (Practice Listening and Understanding Speech). These training games were developed with people with hearing loss and are designed to support everyday listening, including listening in noise.

The study has been reviewed and approved by the University of Nottingham Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee. Further details here.

If you are interested in taking part or have any questions please email Natalie Lerigo-Smith at Natalie.Lerigo-Smith1@nottingham.ac.uk.
