Reliable Web-Based Auditory Cognitive Testing: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Web-based experimentation, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has enabled large-scale participant recruitment and data collection. Auditory testing on the web has shown promise but faces challenges such as uncontrolled environments and verifying headphone use. Prior studies have successfully replicated auditory experiments but often involved younger participants, limiting the generalizability to older adults with varying hearing abilities. This study explores the feasibility of conducting reliable auditory cognitive testing using a web-based platform, especially among older adults.

Objective

This study aims to determine whether demographic factors such as age and hearing status influence participation in web-based auditory cognitive experiments and to assess th
