We are currently seeking volunteers for a study to investigate how neurostimulation can help with hearing in noisy environments. 

We need volunteers who are:

Native English speakers
Aged between 18 - 40
Normal hearing
Right-handed
Have no history of neurological disorders, such as epilepsy
Have no history of migraines
Not dyslexic or have any learning disabilities
No current or recent mental health disorders 

As a volunteer you will need to come to our hearing testing facility twice, for around 60 to 90 minutes each time. You will be asked to listen to speech in noisy backgrounds and repeat what you have heard, while we will apply weak alternating currents to your scalp.
 
Location: Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus.

You will be compensated for your participation with £10 per session (£20 for the two visits).

Results of these experiments, which is funded by the Royal Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies, will help in the development of devices to aid sufferers of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). Sufferers of APD have difficulties distinguishing between competing sounds, despite being able to perform normally on standard hearing tests. APD can result from head injuries due to blast exposure.

Please contact Dr. Shabnam Kadir ([log in to unmask]) or Chrissa Kaza ([log in to unmask]uk). We presently aim to complete all experiments by the end of October 2017.
