Study Summary
With advancing age, adults experience increasing speech understanding difficulties in challenging situations. Currently, speech-in-noise difficulties are rehabilitated by providing hearing aids. For older normal-hearing adults, however, hearing devices do not provide much benefit since these adults do not have a decreased hearing sensitivity. The goal of the "Speech Perception with High Cognitive Demand" Project is to evaluate the benefit of a new auditory-cognitive training paradigm. In order to provide maximal benefit for older, normal-hearing adults, a validation of the new training materials is required. In a pilot study, the investigators will evaluate the new auditory-cognitive training paradigm in 15 young, normal-hearing adults (18-30 years). Based on these results, the training paradigm can be further optimized for older adults.
Primary Outcome
Sentences of seven different scenarios will be presented to young, normal-hearing adults. Participants will be instructed to listen to one speaker and ignore the other one, will be asked to recall the keywords of the to-be-attended sentence after the target sentence (0-back) or after the next sentence was presented (1-back; short-term memory component). The sentences will be presented using an 2 down-1up adaptive procedure in which the ratio of the levels of the to-be-attended and to-be-ignored
