Studio is Breakthrough for People With Hearing Loss

The Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC) recently announced the launch of the Listening Studio, an innovation for people with hearing loss.

The Listening Studio is an audio and video installation acoustically designed to simulate an array of real-life listening environments. Working in this setting, audiologists can provide people with the opportunity to maximize the benefit they obtain from their hearing aids. Hearing aid settings can be fine-tuned to maximize performance in real-world situations including the classroom, a noisy city street and a subway platform. More than 500 scenarios can be simulated.

The studio is permanently installed in the CHC in lower Manhattan and is now open to the public.
