Exploring the experiences of adult with hearing difficulties and their families
UQ researchers are conducting a study to better understand the experiences of adults with hearing difficulties and their significant others.
We are seeking participants aged 50+ years who have experienced hearing difficulties since adulthood and do not wear hearing aids, and their significant others (e.g., partner/spouse, adult child, friend, neighbour, colleague).
Participation will include:
- A hearing test
- Questionnaires
- Interviews with a researcher
- Smartphone surveys
- Video-recording conversations with you and others
The first three activities will be completed at a time and location suited to you and your significant other (e.g., remotely via Zoom, at UQ campus, or at your home) over at least two meetings with a member of the research team.
The smartphone surveys and video-recording conversations are completed within your own time over a two week period.
You'll receive:
To thank you for your time, both you and your significant other will each receive a $50 gift voucher.
