We develop test methods that mirror relevant real-life situations, allowing us to assess the effects of hearing aids where they truly matter. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life by ensuring that hearing solutions are optimized for real-world challenges.
Hearing happens in the real world—not just in labs or clinics. Traditional assessments often fall short of capturing the full complexity of everyday auditory experiences. We focus on developing ecologically valid outcome measures that go beyond controlled environments to better reflect real-life hearing challenges across diverse situations and lifespans.
By applying Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and Auditory Reality research, we refine methodologies to improve hearing aid evaluations, reduce biases, and gain deeper insights into listening experiences.
Our work aims to bridge the gap between research and real-world hearing needs, ensuring that assessments align more closely with everyday communication challenges.
Expanding the range of real-world outcome measures strengthens both research and clinical practice, offering a more comprehensive understanding of hearing performance in daily life.
Join us in advancing methods that reflect everyday listening—because hearing isn’t just about what’s tested, but what’s truly experienced. Explore our research and discover new ways to assess real-world hearing.
