Welcome to the Deep Hearing Lab

We are a group of researchers who try to improve the perception of sound by people with hearing difficulties.

There are many challenges. We combine techniques from audiology, engineering, neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence to investigate mechanisms and to develop new methods for hearing devices and clinical applications. Our work is strongly guided by collaboration and discussion with people who have hearing loss.

The Deep Hearing Lab is based at several locations, including the University of Zurich and University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge in the UK and the Institut Pasteur and University Aix Marseille in France.

Our research is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the EU Marie Curie Actions in Switzerland, the Leverhulme Trust and RNID in the UK and Fondation pour l'audition in France. Previously we received funding from the Medical Research Council UK, Cambridge University, Fondation pour l'Audition, the Evelyn Trust, Wellcome Trust and Newton Trust.
