For more than 40 years, Boys Town National Research Hospital has been translating research into premier clinical care. Our studies in neurological and behavioral health, hearing and language development are improving the care provided to children, adults and communities in Omaha and around the country.

Current studies are recruiting for all ages and include in-person and virtual opportunities. Participants will be compensated for their time.

If you would like researchers to contact you when you are a good match for a research study, go to our Participate in Hearing and Communication Research page to be added to our research recruitment volunteer database. When you are contacted, the researcher will explain the study and you may decide if you want to participate.

Free Online Hearing and Language Screenings (Ages 3-18)

Are you concerned about your child’s talking, listening, reading or writing skills?

Childhood language problems are common, but they often go unrecognized. Finding out about struggles with spoken language as early as possible is important. Additionally, good hearing is important in development of language skills. If your child is 3-18 years old and you have concerns, your child may benefit from a free online language and hearing screening with us.
