Project INCLUDE
We are conducting ongoing research to understand how speech, language and hearing develops across the lifespan for individuals with Down syndrome.
Participants hear sounds that are presented through a speaker or headphones. Sometimes there are background sounds, such as noise or people talking. We often use a game format to make sure the listening study is interesting. Sounds are played at a comfortable level.
We are currently seeking individuals who:
- Have Down syndrome
- Are ages 7 months and older
- Do not wear a cochlear implant
Participants will receive:
- A hearing test and a language test in this study.
- Compensation for this study is $20 per hour.
This study takes place at:
Boys Town National Research Hospital
555 North 30th Street
Omaha, NE, 68131

This study is funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIH NIDCD) Grant #R21DC02002 and R01DC020229
