Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Auditory hearing and discrimination thresholds are measured using audiometry (perceptual auditory responses (level and frequencies)) and auditory evoked potentials (auditory brainstem response (ABR; amplitude and latency), mismatch negativity (MMN; amplitude and latency), and P3 (parietal amplitude and latency)) at baseline and 3 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary auditory training performance measured using data collected about key performance indicators (time, hit rate, attempts) during training (three months duration) | — |
