Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 238003 0
To show that acoustic changes in the spectral and temporal characteristics of speech (e.g., change in formant frequency or voice onset time) can be measured acoustically at the eardrum. a probe microphone and real ear measurement system will be used to record the sound at the ear drum.
Timepoint [1] 238003 0
This will be measured at the time of the research appointment, immediately prior to the measurement of the cortical evoked potentials (CAEPs)
Secondary outcome [1] 242268 0
To show that acoustical changes in speech sounds measured at the eardrum correlate with changes in the speech-evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP). the CAEP will be measured via surface electrodes on the scalp
Timepoint [1] 242268 0
the speech-evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) will be measured at the time of the research appointment
