Description
Scientific research on sound and hearing requires specific measurement equipment and soundproof lab facilities. Ghent University has a combination of facilities to assess sound exposure and its impact both in the field and in the lab, and to study human hearing and sound processing by the brain using pre-clinical and innovative techniques as well as standardised methods. The Acoustics, Audiology, Auditory and Speech-Language science Lab bundles the management, maintenance, and innovation of this instrumentation and facilities.
