Who we are
At ORCA Labs, we do research on life with hearing loss and apply our knowledge to improve solutions
About ORCA Labs The Scientific Institute of WS Audiology
Hearing is not solved
There’s a need for more knowledge and understanding.
Our research plays a vital role in the link between understanding life with hearing loss and developing state-of-the-art technology that tackles these challenges.
This month In Focus
ORCA Labs Research Grant 2026
At ORCA Labs, we believe research money is best spent in the hands of researchers on actual research.
ORCA Labs is therefore seeking research proposals that advance understanding of sound preference as a distinct construct relevant to hearing, listening, and hearing technology.
For the purposes of this grant call, sound preference refers to an individual’s subjective preference for one sound, processing strategy, acoustic characteristic, or listening experience over another.
Applications will be reviewed by an independent selection panel comprising members of the ORCA Labs Sound Preference Advisory Board.
Currently presented in three countries
