We are going to carry out such a study, in conjunction with research labs at five other institutions. With six universities involved, we will be able to recruit a sufficiently large number of people in the study and decrease the likelihood of any regional bias influencing the outcomes. We will be trying to validate the following claims: that musicians have an improved ability to understand speech in noisy environments that the responses of a musician\u27s brainstem to speech sounds is enhanced, and that older musicians have reduced symptoms from age-related hearing loss.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/brainscanprojectsummaries/1036/thumbnail.jp
