The CU Hearing Research Laboratory is recruiting participants for a research study on how our ability to hear interacts with our ability to listen (focus our attention) in difficult listening situations, such as distorted or noisy speech. The researchers are interested in whether measures of attention and memory can help people choose hearing aid settings that make speech more clear. You may be eligible to participate if you are 18 years of age or older with hearing loss in both ears. Please contact hearlab@colorado.edu if you are interested in participating in this study.

We are looking for healthy men to participate in a research study on the effects of sleep restriction on bone density.

Study duration:

• One week outpatient and eight-night inpatient stay, with an optional three week additional observation phase

You may qualify if you:

• Are a healthy man aged 20-65 years old
• Habitually sleep 7-9 hours per night
• Have not done shift work in the past year
• Do not currently smoke

Benefits for study volunteers:

• Measurement of bone density and baseline labs
• Meals provided for 2 weeks
• Compensation will be provided

If you are interested in participating in the “SIIB” study (Sleep disruption-Induced Impairments in Bone Formation), email SleepyBoneHead@UCDenver.edu for study details (PI Christine Swanson, MD, MCR, COMIRB # 18-0015).

We are looking for healthy men and women, ages 18-45, to participate in a study lasting approximately 15 days. The study will consist of wearing an activity-tracking watch at home, and two laboratory visits of about seven hours each at the University of Colorado Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory. This study is about how typical artificial indoor lighting versus a simulation of a natural sunset influences the timing of the human body clock. The body clock controls 24-hour patterns of physiology such as sleep and hormone release. This work will have important implications for determining how implementation of new lighting technology can be used to promote sleep. Participants may receive compensation up to $200. For study details, email sleep.study@colorado.edu and ask about the Simulated Sunset study.
