Tinnitus

Participants are needed for two research studies investigating the tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in adults. The studies are being conducted by Fatima Husain, PhD, of the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We are looking for healthy adults between the ages of 20-70, who have hearing loss and tinnitus, normal or corrected-to-normal vision, no history of neurological or psychiatric illness, no chronic health problems and no history of drug or alcohol abuse. If interested, please contact us. Individuals will be paid for their participation and will also be reimbursed for parking.
Study 1: A detailed hearing exam, questionnaires and behavioral tests will be part of Study 1. Study 1 will take place at SHS, 901 S. Sixth Street.
Study 2: We will use MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to obtain images of the brain while the participants are listening to sounds. Study 2 will take place at the Biomedical Imaging Center, part of the Beckman Insititute at 405 N. Mathews Ave.
Participants who fulfill certain criteria, inlcuding age, gender, type of tinnitus and type of hearing loss, will be invited to participate in Study 2.

Hearing Loss

Participants are needed for two research studies investigating the tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in adults. The studies are being conducted by Fatima Husain, PhD, of the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  We are looking for healthy adults between the ages of 20-70, who have hearing loss without tinnitus, normal or corrected-to-normal vision, no history of neurological or psychiatric illness, no chronic health problems and no history of drug or alcohol abuse. If interested, please contact us. Individuals will be paid for their participation and will also be reimbursed for parking.
