Brief Summary

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

The goal of the clinical trial study (Phase 0) is to map out the developmental trajectory of functional spatial hearing abilities in reverberant environments for children with normal hearing between the ages of 6 and 18 years, and to understand the inter-relationships between the three perceptual abilities: auditory object size formation, spatial acuity, and spatial unmasking during typical development. Children are asked to perform psychoacoustic tasks when the auditory stimuli are processed to present in virtual acoustic environments (1) with no reverberation and (2) with one of the two levels of reverberation that emulate everyday indoor environments. The intervention of this clinical study is in the random assignment of one of the two reverberant environments. Researchers will compare these children with a group of normal-hearing adults to anchor matured performances.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

There are two arms in the exposure of reverberation for participants. For children (n1=45) and adults (n1=15) assigned to Arm 1, they receive a non-reverberant environment (control) and a low-reverberant environment (intervention A). For children (n2 = 45) and adults (n2 = 15) assigned to Arm 2, they receive the same non-reverberant environment (control) and a high-reverberant environment (intervention B). Both arms of children and adults enrolled perform the same psychoacoustic tasks for outcome assessments.

Study Groups

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

Low-Reverberation

Participants perform psychoacoustic tasks under a low-reverberant environment and a control environment without reverberation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-Reverberation

Intervention Type OTHER

The exposure to low-reverberation is by presenting auditory stimuli to participants that are digitally processed to contain auditory cues that sound more or less reverberant, e.g., small classroom.

High-Reverberation

Participants perform psychoacoustic tasks under a high-reverberant environment and a control environment without reverberation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High-Reverberation

Intervention Type OTHER

The exposure to high-reverberation is by presenting auditory stimuli to participants that are digitally processed to contain auditory cues that sound more or less reverberant, e.g., large lecture hall/auditorium.
