National Acoustic Laboratories

Since 1947, NAL's research into hearing has opened new ways in which people with hearing loss can be helped. The vast majority of the research at NAL is performed in the public good as a Community Service Obligation of Hearing Australia and is partly funded by the Commonwealth Government. Additional funding is obtained from grants and from commercialisation of some inventions. The results of this research are published in leading scientific journals, presented at national and international conferences and reported in the NAL Research and Development Annual Reports.
