This month In focus
ORCA Labs at EFAS 2025
Recently returned from EFAS 2025 conference in Vienna, ORCA Labs shared two interesting studies.
Smeds and Rønne explored “Conversation Success” in group conversations with hearing-impaired participants, showing how hearing aid settings impact communication dynamics in noisy environments.
Another talk by Fischer, Birkl, and Schinkel-Bielefeld introduced ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as a tool to improve hearing aid fittings through real-time user feedback.
Currently presented in three countries
