Welcome! We are the Deep Hearing Lab led by Prof Dr Tobias Goehring. 

Our research is to better understand and to improve sound and speech perception by people with hearing difficulties. 

Communication in noisy places is still a major problem for people with hearing loss. We combine techniques from engineering, audiology, neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence to better understand the limitations and develop new methods for hearing devices and clinical applications. An important part is the collaboration with people who use hearing devices in their daily lives to receive feedback and inspiration.

We are an international team that spans across labs and countries. As part of the University of Zurich we are mainly based at the ORL department of the University Hospital Zurich, the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge and the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

Our main funders are the Swiss National Science Foundation and RNID. While previous projects were supported by the Medical Research Council UK, Fondation pour l'Audition, the Evelyn Trust, Wellcome Trust and Newton Trust.
