Do you have a perceived or diagnosed hearing impairment? If so, then please consider participating in this ASMR research project led by Christine Cubelo.
Christine is a graduate student, pursuing a Master of Clinical Audiology at Universidad Isabel I, School of Advanced Education and Research Accreditation, in Spain.
Her research thesis explores the therapeutic use of ASMR among people with atypical sensory processing and includes an experimental trial of watching specific ASMR videos assigned by the researcher.
Her thesis is titled: “Reviewing Literature on Current Clinical Applications of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) and Exploring Potential Benefits of ASMR for Auditory Training”
Christine’s faculty advisor for the study is Dr. Nerea Ortega Castro, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience and Tutor for Masters Final Projects
Christine is looking for participants to complete a 2-Part experiment:
- Watch & listen to the assigned ASMR videos.
- Take an online survey.
The survey and video selection have been approved by the school faculty.
Who can participate in this study?
The study is open to adults aged 18 and up who have a perceived or diagnosed hearing impairment, have normal or corrected vision, are fluent in English, and are able to connect to YouTube from a personal device that has a loudspeaker embedded or connected. If you already use hearing aids and they are functioning normally, you are encouraged to continue wearing your hearing aids when completing the assigned videos. You are not required to have had prior ASMR experiences in order to participate.
The survey is fully anonymous, will take about 5-7 minutes to complete, and the results will only be used for academic purposes.
