NAL | ESIA Partnership Announcement
An innovative new partnership between Ear Science Institute Australia and National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) brings together hearing researchers from across Australia with the shared goal of improving treatments for millions dealing with hearing issues.
World-renowned hearing research organisation NAL has been involved in evidence-based innovation to improve hearing health and transform the lives of people with hearing difficulties for over 75 years. The organization has developed many clinical tools, software and guidelines that have been widely adopted worldwide. NAL remains at the forefront of advancing novel solutions to hearing health services and technology, conduct sophisticated validation trials on treatment benefit, and provide insights into the needs of people with hearing loss and the clinicians who serve them.
Ear Science Institute Australia is a globally recognised for-purpose organisation and centre of excellence that aligns hearing science, medicine, and clinical teams to develop innovative treatments for ear and hearing disorders, and eventually find a cure for hearing loss. Ear Science covers the entire hearing treatment journey, focussing on improved quality of hearing health by prioritising the translation of its work from scientific research to the patient.
Hearing loss is one of the most common health concerns across the world, and by 2050, it’s expected nearly 2.5 billion people will have some degree of hearing impairment. Treating hearing loss can drastically change a person’s life by improving the ability to hear. The partnership between Ear Science and NAL represents a collaboration of expertise in research, innovation and hearing healthcare that will translate into significant life improvements for many, both locally and globally.
Both NAL and Ear Science are able to provide evidence-based insights and solutions for adoption by hearing healthcare professionals, policymakers, manufacturers, and people with hearing difficulties. By integrating their extensive resources and data sets, the two organisations will work together to change the lives of people with hearing loss like never before.
