Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A research project funded by the Australian Childhood Foundation (ACF) will be conducted in Australian facilities of the ACF to evaluate the effectiveness of the Listening Project Protocol (LPP) in children with a trauma history. The LPP is designed as a "neural exercise" to reduce auditory hypersensitivities, to improve auditory processing of speech, and to improve behavioral state regulation. The LPP uses acoustic stimulation to exercise the neural regulation of the middle ear structures to rehabilitate and to normalize the acoustic transfer function of the middle ear structures. The current study is being conducted to evaluate efficacy and feasibility of the LPP and will use objective measures to evaluate changes in acoustic transfer function of the middle ears structures, auditory processing skills, physiological state regulation, and sensory symptoms.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

Participants will be included in all pre-intervention and post-assessment measures. Participants will receive the Listening Project Protocol intervention. The duration of the intervention is approximately 45 minutes per day, for 5 consecutive days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Listening Project Protocol

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will consist of listening to computer-altered acoustic stimulation, designed to modulate the frequency band of vocal music passed to the participant. The frequency characteristics of the acoustic stimulation are selected to emphasize the relative importance of specific frequencies in conveying the information embedded in human speech. Modulation of the acoustic energy within the frequencies of human voice, similar to an exaggerated vocal prosody, are hypothesized to recruit and modulate the neural regulation of the middle ear muscles and to functionally reduce sound hypersensitivities and improve auditory processing.

Assessment-only group

The assessment-only group will participate in all pre- and post-intervention assessments, but will not receive the Listening Project Protocol.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
