Synthesis Between Clinic and Research

The Hearing Assistance Research Program (HARP) combines clinical and research objectives in a thorough evaluation of our patients.

Services from the HARP include audiological evaluations, hearing handicap assessments and assistive technology assessments. These services provide a comprehensive insight into the listening needs of our patients.

HARP includes interaction with on-going research at the Advanced Hearing Research Center. By participating in HARP you will be given the opportunity to get involved in research programs designed to improve our understanding of the auditory system and hearing loss remediation.

Current Research Projects include:
1) Application of Advanced Listening Technology for Adults (AALTA) CLICK HERE for details;
2) examination of ways to improve hearing aid adjustment for individuals with high-frequency hearing loss. Individuals who qualify for and participate in the research will receive a digital hearing aid at no cost. CLICK HERE for details;
3) evaluations of FM systems in places of Worship. CLICK HERE for details;
4) evaluation of FM systems with cochlear implants;
5) examination of techniques to facilitate listening in the classroom for children with normal hearing.
