I am suspicious. Is this some sort of advertising scam? Has anyone participated in this and actually gotten money?

Nope - not a scam. I signed up several months ago and was sent a survey once. I think I got like a $10 Amazon card. Would love to do more
I never heard back from anyone so I guess they donāt need anymore subjects?
We recruit for projects as we get them. Things have been a little quiet lately, but weāve had some really busy times with multiple projects going simultaneouslyā¦ I expect to run at least one project next month
Awesome! I just signed up. I have profound hearing loss and Iāve worn hearing aids for decades now. Itās been awesome seeing how things have evolved over the years. My go-to audiologist is retired soon, so Iām poking around and finally finding communities online. Iām a front-end dev so Iām extremely computer/tech savvy too. Hopefully some more research opportunities come out in the future, paid or not I would love to help influence the future of hearing aids!
I signed up immediately, and havenāt heard from them since.
I guess Iām not what they are looking for.
You know thereās a bridge in Brooklyn thatās been for sale for quite a while now
I thought Chris Christie bought da bridge as a back door to NYC for campaigning?
Sold! Too bad. I was going to buy it with the money Iām getting from the Nigerian Prince.
Wondering why this conversation hasnāt been touched upon since July 2022. Is all of this over, now that Iāve signed up? Also wondering if getting ten dollar gift cards will affect my Social Security Disability. Hmm. Maybe I should just UN sign up. I have a mortgage to worry about.
We have run a number of studies. For whatever reason, it seems all our activities thus far have involved recruiting participants with mild hearing loss for OTC related projects. However, after all this time weāre getting a new project together with Vanderbilt University, the University of Colorado, and the University of Pretoriaā¦ and will be inviting every single person who signed up to participate.
Thatās cool to hear. I remember getting one survey or something once a while ago. Had forgotten about this
Well Iām hoping I get an invite for the survey! We need CINDERBLOCK perspectives on hearing-related issues too, Iām thinkingā¦
And I am the Cinderblock Queen - I reign supreme.
Hey, I just read this, filled out the short form, checked āPROFOUNDā ā¦ and will likely be drumming fingers till the day anyone wants to hear from the likes of me.
Firefox was successful on the first try for me today. Thanks.
I precipitated in 3 or 4 and have never been PAID !
I guess only some are paid.
I can assure you that we do actually run a number of paid studies. We use Amazon for processing gift cardsā¦ However, I will say that not all people who sign up are invited to every project. Some of that is random, and some of it is due to restrictions on who may be invited to projects. Projects are often looking for specific individuals with specific hearing loss levels or geography, etc. As proof, hereās a snapshot from Amazonā¦
So far, I havenāt been asked. I guess I donāt fit the profiles they were looking for.
