HEAL 2026: Exploring the Role of Sound Preference in Personalized Hearing Care
This year at HEAL 2026, ORCA Labs will present new research exploring a fundamental and often overlooked question in hearing care:
Why does the same hearing aid sound feel right to one person and wrong to another?
At HeAL 2026, Gitte Engelund and Frederic Marmel will present a joint session bringing together theoretical, experimental, and clinical perspectives on sound preference and personalized hearing care.
Currently presented in three countries
