Interventions
auditory level
* Evaluation of auditory thresholds through audiometric tests. * Evaluation of speech comprehension in noise through a vocal audiometry test in noise (FraMatrix). * Evaluation of spatial auditory behavior and spatial precision using a spatial discrimination test (Minimum Audible Angle) and a static sound localization test in virtual reality.
cognitive level
* Evaluation of attention and short-term memory functions with verbal and non-verbal tasks: Digit Span Test and Reading Span Test. * Evaluation of inhibition capacities using the Stroop Test. * Evaluation of executive functions, visual attention, reasoning, and mental arithmetic using the Raven's Matrix test.
quality of life level
\- Evaluation of quality of live level via Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ-12) and EuroQol-5D questionnaires.
