About the Hearing Lab
An independent hearing aid testing lab, helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions.
Hearing loss is a complex issue, and developing high-quality hearing aid products also presents numerous challenges. We will evaluate your device using two fitting models and five key sound quality metrics to give you a helping hand.
Independent Third-Party Evaluation
The Hearing Lab is an independent testing laboratory whose mission is to help hearing aid consumers make informed purchasing decisions. We will evaluate your device using two fitting models and five key sound quality metrics.
Our test protocols are carefully designed to reflect hearing aid users’ preferences and the actual performance of devices. We will use our continuously expanding database, which includes over 60 hearing aids, earbuds, and personal sound amplification products, to evaluate and compare your device.

Our Evaluation Methods
Our evaluations include standardized testing and perceptual testing.
Standardized Testing
We use advanced labs equipped with industry-standard equipment to perform objective technical parameter measurements on each hearing aid.
Perceptual Testing
Our sound quality metrics are based on real-world listening environments, with subjective listening evaluations conducted by experienced audiology experts.
Database Comparison
Perform horizontal comparative analysis of your device against similar products on the market using our continuously expanding database.
Our Sound Quality Metrics Are Based on Real-World Listening Environments
Real-world scenarios from the Ambisonics typical environment recording database (e.g., cafes, offices, dinner parties)
Custom-recorded multi-party conversation scenarios, including male and female voices
Sound scenarios recorded at real speech volumes and signal-to-noise ratios
Laboratory Equipment
Equipped with a full suite of professional testing equipment, including industry-standard measurement devices, an anechoic chamber environment, B&K head measurement systems, and G.R.A.S. artificial ears.
