Illustrative concept — not a client projectClinical Evidence & Product Validation

Hearing-aid clinical evidence programme

A structured evaluation programme assessing product performance, user outcomes and real-world usability.

Show details

Buyer question: What evidence gaps could block the next development or launch decision?

Proposed work: Review technical and clinical documents, map claims to evidence, run electroacoustic and speech-in-noise benchmarking, then design a usability and clinical evaluation with appropriate approvals.

Expected deliverables:

  • Claims-to-evidence map
  • Benchmark report
  • Study protocol
  • Evidence report and white paper

Wearable hearing technology performance evaluation

Technical and clinical assessment of wearable communication and hearing technologies.

Show details

Buyer question: How does the device perform for speech in noise, and how do target users experience it?

Proposed work: Objective acoustic measurement on an acoustic manikin, combined with structured usability sessions with target users.

Expected deliverables:

  • Performance report
  • Usability findings
  • Engineering recommendations

UK market-entry and commercialisation programme

Product positioning, expert feedback, buyer engagement and international market development.

Show details

Buyer question: Where should the product enter the UK market, and through which partners?

Proposed work: Market and competitor research, structured audiologist and KOL feedback, partner shortlisting and a milestone-based launch plan.

Expected deliverables:

  • Market and positioning report
  • Expert feedback synthesis
  • Partner shortlist
  • Launch plan

Care-home communication technology pilot

Assessment of assistive communication technologies, such as caption glasses, in real-world residential care settings.

Show details

Buyer question: Which care-home communication tasks could benefit, and what would a pilot need?

Proposed work: Define scenarios and usability measures for residents and staff, then plan a pilot with agreed outcomes and appropriate permissions.

Expected deliverables:

  • Scenario map
  • Pilot protocol
  • Deployment requirements

AI speech-enhancement feasibility project

Engineering evaluation of speech-enhancement algorithms and their potential embedded integration.

Show details

Buyer question: Does the AI mode improve output SNR across controlled noise scenes, and can it run within the latency and power budget?

Proposed work: Compare processing modes on an acoustic manikin, measure SNR improvement, latency and repeatability, and assess embedded feasibility on candidate platforms.

Expected deliverables:

  • Engineering report
  • Platform feasibility assessment
  • Draft clinical protocol

Adapting speech-in-noise screening for China

Guoping Li and Mark Lutman in Southampton developed a Chinese version of a telephone-based speech-in-noise screening test using digits.

Show details

Why it matters for manufacturers: The project illustrates how a hearing assessment can be adapted to a different language and delivery context.

China–UK audiology education

CUAE was established in 2016 with participation from academic partners in China and the UK, and Tingli Ltd. Its work includes education exchange in audiology.

Show details

Why it matters for manufacturers: For manufacturers, the relevant experience is coordinating work across Chinese and UK institutions.
