Announcement: Join HEARsearch and be part of NAL’s mission to improve the lives of people with hearing difficulties.
The National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) is expanding the reach of its world-leading research studies by enabling people all over the world to participate and make a difference. We invite you to join the HEARsearch community.
We don’t have enough research participants to conduct high impact research. Most of our current hearing research studies require participants to attend at least one session in-person, restricting participation to those who live near our facilities and are able to attend during business hours. Now with HEARsearch, the exciting new NAL initiative, participants can contribute to quality hearing research studies from any location using their computer or smartphone. With a higher number and greater diversity of participants, NAL researchers will be able to discover more valuable insights quickly and effectively, and translate these into improved, tried and tested, innovative hearing services and technology.
Our research volunteers gain a great sense of fulfilment and enjoy the opportunity to give back to the community. Studies may include online surveys, online interviews, trialling new listening tests, or trialling new hearing apps or technology. As always, participation in a given study is optional, and qualified research staff are available to help when needed.
Check out the HEARsearch webpage to sign up and join the growing community. Together we can advance hearing research, and improve the lives of people with hearing loss.
