PART: Portable Automated Rapid Testing for Auditory Assessment in Older Adults

The Portable Automated Rapid Testing (PART) platform dataset contains results from a remote study of auditory processing in older adults. Sixty older adult participants completed assessments of peripheral hearing and central auditory functions, including frequency modulation detection and speech-in-noise perception, across two separate timepoints. The dataset, authored by Quentin Coppola and last updated in May 2026, is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Evaluate test-retest reliability of remote auditory assessments based on the repeated measures design.
• Investigate the relationship between central auditory functions and aging based on the described tasks.
• Assess the feasibility and acceptability of at-home hearing monitoring for older adults based on the study's remote methodology.

Strengths

• Includes data from 60 older adult participants, providing a specific sample size.
• Assessments were conducted across two separate timepoints, enabling reliability analysis.
• The dataset is licensed as CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data file is a 998.2 KB DOCX document, which suggests the primary data may be embedded in a report format rather than a structured data file.
