About the lab

What we do,
and why it matters.

The Virtual Hearing Lab is a joint research initiative between the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the University of Pretoria — a WHO Collaborating Centre for the Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss.

Over 1.5 billion people globally live with hearing loss, and the vast majority never see an audiologist. We build the evidence base for digital solutions that close that gap.
