Background
Welcome to the Ebell-USC study landing page! We are the Brain & Music Lab, a USC-based neuroscience lab that studies the benefits of music for brain development across the lifespan. In this project, we are studying how group singing and audiobook listening can support hearing, cognition, and well-being in older adults. Ebell of Los Angeles has kindly partnered with us to host these research programs. Explore our webpage to learn more, and submit an interest form to see if you are eligible to participate.
Research Aims
We would like to know if participating in group singing can aid speech-in-noise perception in older adults, as well as their general well-being. This study is a clinical trial exploring a non-medical music-based intervention for improving hearing abilities and well-being of older adults.
