"Validating techniques for collecting for collecting vocal and listening effort during remote and in-person speech-language intervention" IRB#22.0568

The project will validate techniques for collecting measures of vocal and listening effort in deaf and hard-of-hearing children during remote and in-person speech-language intervention to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and robustness of these innovative approaches.
