About
A specialist team grounded in Southampton acoustics and hearing research
Tingli Ltd is a hearing technology engineering and commercialisation company based in Southampton, UK. Our core team brings acoustics and audiology research experience from Southampton, and works to established protocols for sound-field testing, acoustic-manikin measurement, hearing-aid evaluation and participant studies.

Research foundation: Southampton acoustics and audiology
Southampton has a long record of research and teaching in acoustics, signal processing and audiology. In 2016, Tingli Ltd took part with academic partners in China and the UK in establishing the Centre for China–UK Audiology Education (CUAE). That experience gives us a working knowledge of UK research practice and of connecting Chinese and UK institutions.

About
Testing and research settings
From sound-field and manikin measurement to hearing-aid electroacoustic tests and participant studies, we follow rigorous research procedures to produce evidence that can be checked.

A multi-loudspeaker sound field reproduces speech and noise from defined directions to test directionality, noise reduction and speech-in-noise performance.
Acoustic manikin testing
Devices fitted to a head-and-torso simulator (such as KEMAR) with ear simulators, measuring output, SNR improvement and directional behaviour under realistic wearing conditions.

Team and research foundation
Team capabilities
We assemble the team each project needs, and the people involved and their roles are named in the project proposal.
- 01
Acoustic measurement and sound-field testing
Multi-loudspeaker sound fields, acoustic manikin (KEMAR) and ear-simulator measurement that reproduce realistic speech and noise scenes.
- 02
Hearing-aid electroacoustic and performance evaluation
Gain, frequency response, distortion and feedback measured against relevant standards; directionality, noise reduction and latency evaluated systematically.
- 03
Signal processing and AI speech enhancement
Development, tuning and objective evaluation of hearing-aid processing, beamforming and AI speech enhancement.
- 04
Clinical research and participant studies
Study design, ethics-application support, recruitment coordination, speech-recognition and usability assessment.
- 05
Regulatory evidence planning
Claims-to-evidence mapping and gap analysis to support your regulatory team.
- 06
Market insight and commercialisation
UK hearing healthcare research, professional feedback, partner identification and launch material.
Team lead
Dr Guoping Li
Founder · Scientific & Commercial Director
Audiologist and hearing scientist with a PhD gained in Southampton, UK, and co-director of the Centre for China–UK Audiology Education (CUAE). Responsible for scientific direction and project quality.
How an engagement works
