| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study parameters will be profiles that specify emotion perception parameters for the groups NH and HI, and profiles of individual HI listeners. These profiles will be based on a combination of behavioural measures (reaction times, accuracy, and psychoacoustic sensitivities) and objective measures (pupillometry, EEG and eye-tracking) to assess listening effort and cognitive processing. | — |
