This enables us to implement your studies in a targeted manner.

Technological & methodological diversity

As a developer of innovative measurement methods, we offer you study designs that realistically depict listening and communication situations. These include

Speech tests with realistic signal-to-noise ratios
Dual-task setups
audiovisual scenarios
Measurements on listening effort & fatigue
EMA approaches (ecological momentary assessment)
Usability tests

For mobile applications, we rely on our self-developed "Portable Hearing Lab" - a research hearing aid in smartphone format. In combination with our suitcase studies as no-touch studies, this enables us to conduct studies completely remotely.
