Welcome to the Deep Hearing Lab

We are a group of researchers who investigate and improve the perception of sound and speech by people, in particular those with hearing difficulties.

There are many challenges for people with hearing loss. We combine techniques from audiology, engineering, neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence to investigate the mechanisms and to develop new methods for hearing devices and clinical applications. Our work is guided by the collaboration with people who use hearing devices.

The Deep Hearing Lab is a multinational group that spans across several labs and countries. We are based at the University of Zurich and University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge in the UK and the Institut Pasteur and University Aix Marseille in France.

Our main funders are the Swiss National Science Foundation and EU-MSCA in Switzerland, Leverhulme Trust and RNID in the UK and Fondation pour l'audition in France. Previously we received support from the Medical Research Council UK, Fondation pour l'Audition, the Evelyn Trust, Wellcome Trust and Newton Trust.
