 \subsection{Listening Environment Standardisation}
 
+In order to reduce the impact of having a non-standardised listening environment and unobservable participants, a series of pre-test standard questions have been put together to ask every participant. The first part of this is that every participant is asked to carry out the test, wherever possible, with a pair of quality headphones.
