165 - Making Informed Decisions: How NALguide is Helping Demystify Hearing Aid Technology for Consumers

This week, host Dave Kemp is joined by two distinguished researchers from the National Acoustics Laboratory (NAL) in Australia. Dr. Padraig Kittrick and Dr. Paola Incerti, discuss their work on developing the NALguide, a new tool designed to demystify hearing aid technology and features for consumers. The NALguide is the result of a collaborative effort involving engineers, audiologists, and behavioral insights specialists. It is designed to be brand-agnostic, ensuring that consumers can navigate the world of hearing technology without being overwhelmed by technical jargon or manufacturer-specific terms. The resource offers consumers a high-level understanding of key features and also allows those with a deeper interest to explore further details through a QR code.
