## Abstract (arXiv)

Adolescents with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty processing speech with background noise due to reduced inhibitory control and working memory capacity (WMC). This paper presents a pilot study of an audiovisual Speech-In-Noise (SIN) task for young adults with ADHD compared to age-matched controls using eye-tracking measures. The audiovisual SIN task consists of varying six levels of background babble, accompanied by visual cues. A significant difference between ADHD and neurotypical (NT) groups was observed at 15 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These results contribute to the literature of young adults with ADHD.
