Very excited to get this out. We conducted speech and sound quality tests with hearing aid wearers, applied auditory modeling, and tested configurations of masks and face shields. Clinician feedback has been positive.

While we determined the gain compensation 2 months ago, we did extensive testing to ensure that they provided the benefit needed by hearing aid wearers.

Nice review of the scientific literature in the Hearing Review by NAL researcher Louise Martin on the impact of face masks and shields on communication: hearingreview.com/hearing-produc…

Very glad to have met with Minister Coulton today and to have played a role in defining hearing health priorities for the Dept of Health.

For those of you who have enjoyed the excellent “The Queen’s Gambit”, watch the greatest show involving chess: “Searching for Bobby Fischer”. 100 rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I challenge you to not tear up during this movie based on a true story.

Great to be able to advise government on a national hearing healthcare campaign. This NAL report also has great information on the state of hearing healthcare in Australia.

For those who didn't attend the live discussion I had with Nuheara CEO Justin Miller, the YouTube video is now up. We talk about hearables, the hearing aid market, OTC, and of course Nuheara devices. Was a fun discussion, thanks, Justin! youtu.be/38-8sYM_IpE

A shame that this research is still relevant today around the world, but the pandemic is still with us so we are sharing our research and still developing innovative covid-related solutions for people with hearing loss.
