We’re always looking for volunteers to help us to build an understanding of how hearing works.

Contact us at volunteer.hearing@mq.edu.au.

Eligible volunteers will:

• be contacted for an initial appointment with an audiologist who will test your hearing and record other relevant information. This information will be kept on a secure file, and will only be available to the research team
• be invited to participate, when a researcher is starting a relevant project
• offered a small gratuity to thank you for your time involved in each research project
• be put back on the database to be contacted for future studies, after participating in a project. You can have your details removed at any time by contacting us
• not have any of their clinical services or benefits they are receiving, or may receive in the future, affected, even if they decide not to participate in any project.

Our volunteers continue to help us:

• understand hearing loss and its effect on communicating in noisy environments
• refine hearing devices and technologies
• create assessment methods that better reflect how people hear in the real world
• develop apps to help teachers in schools with poor classroom acoustics
• make a database of realistic 3D environments for researchers to use worldwide.
