Linking research and clinical practice

Our hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting practices are based upon the findings of international research in paediatric audiology. We work closely with our research arm, the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL), a world leader in hearing research. NAL are currently researching a number of projects related to paediatric hearing loss and hearing aid fitting. To find out more, click here.
