About the Hear-T Lab

The Hear-T lab aims to investigate effective strategies for managing tinnitus and hyperacusis and developing valid and reliable hearing questionnaires. Our current projects involve developing and assessing the feasibility of remote counseling and sound therapy interventions for patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis. Additionally, the lab collaborates with researchers around the world and contributes annually to the International Conference on Management of the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Patient held at the University of Iowa, where Dr. Perreau is a speaker and planning committee member.

The Hear-T laboratory is fully equipped with an audiometer and access to a sound treated booth, sound measurement equipment, speech perception tests, a hearing aid analyzer, and computer equipment including graphing and statistical software. The laboratory also has hearing devices and materials for tinnitus and hyperacusis assessment and management.

The Hear-T (Hearing + Tinnitus) Lab is housed in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Augustana College in Brodahl Hall.
